Manitou Group has introduced the new Manitou MLT 420 AG telescopic loader to its MLT product line-up for North America. The MLT 420 is the most compact Manitou telescopic loader in the product line, and can navigate in confined spaces and offers all the advantages of a loader, telehandler and industrial forklift combined.

The compact dimensions -just 58? wide and 79? high- makes it easy to work in confined spaces, while also having a maximum lift capacity of 4,400 lbs. and a maximum lift height of 14 feet 4 inches.

Although compact, the Manitou MLT 420 has a full size operators cab for ultimate comfort and a full 360 degree visibility. The machine is easy to operate, and a two-speed hydrostatic transmission with directional and gear change on the JSM (Joystick, Switch and Move) adds flexibility and precision. The JSM joysticks allows the operator to control all hydraulic functions with one hand, so the other hand can remain on the steering wheel at all times for added safety. The MLT 420 is also equipped with a standard auto reversing fan which makes it ideal to work in dusty environments.

The Manitou MLT 420 compact telescopic loader is currently in production and orders are now being accepted.
