Manitou MSI 40 overview

Drive

The main lever combines all controls

This mean the driver can carry out all handling operations while keeping one hand on the steering wheel at all times.


Truly efficient

The Perkins 1104C44 (67kW/84 hp) engine, the hydrostatic drive gives the speed and power you need for intensive materials handling on site. Hydrostatic braking occurs when the accelerator pedal is released, ensuring controlled approach, millimetre by millimetre.


Safety

MSI 40/50 H : Easily manoeuvrable both indoors and outdoors

The MSI is a compact truck featuring large-diameter wheels and high ground clearance that provide it with an excellent ability to ride over obstacles and outstanding manoeuvrability for both warehouse and yard operations. The MSI can easily access every corner of your yard, whether hard or soft standing, thereby utilising every square metre of storage space. The low-pressure tyres absorb the shock of driving over obstacles and give perfect grip on slippery surfaces. In addition, the front axle is fitted with a differential lock as standard. The lateral stability of the MSI, optimised by the track width to wheelbase ratio, makes it possible to handle long loads or several pallets at a time in complete safety. More stable than a conventional forklift, the MSI can handle a bigger load, thus reducing the number of trips. In aisles, its compactness and very tight turning circle due to a steering axle with built-in cylinder provides incredible manoeuvrability.
