Intelligent Hydraulics –The Manitou
MLA Articulated Telehandler
Manitou Group has completed its agriculture range with the MLA. This articulated telehandler responds to different
needs and applications of customers; such as feeding animals, clearing stables or manure, shifting silage, bale handling
and transport. The central positioning and width of the driver’s cab is really different than traditional telehandlers. In
fact, with this configuration, visibility and comfort are both greatly improved, particularly with handling operations
requiring good visibility around the machine. The position of the grid also offers maximum visibility at any height.

boom suspension, this model allows to the
user to automate a lot of movements and
get more productivity. Due to its quality
of equipment, the MLA has optimised fuel

longer than before. With a better
Maintenance and the Total Cost of Owner-
ship of this machine is also reduced. Perfor-
mance is designed to meet the needs of diver-

“With the Manitou MLA, we are back in the
market of articulated telehandlers, a concept
of telehandler that gives our customers a
maximum of comfort, visibility and manoeu-
vrability”, comments Wim Roose, Agriculture
Market & Product Development Manager.
THE MLA offers easy access to the cab,
with the choice to enter either from the
left or right hand side thanks to the 2 doors
along with the roof grid which allows much
greater precision when handling loads at
height. The famous JSM® (Joystick Switch &
Move) on the armrest also figures amongst
the components of the MLA-T, offering the
operator additional comfort.
Performance & TCO
The second key advantage of this
articulated concept is manoeuvrability,
with the sharp turning radius: the MLA
is even capable of performing a U-turn
in cramped quarters. With the package
