The machine has been designed with this priority in mind:Mast: optimized hose routing for better vision between the uprights,Overhead guard with honeycomb roof ensuring excellent upward visibility,Streamlined back uprights,Operator presence sensor, which secures use by locking the hydraulic movements of the mast and the forward/backward movement of the machine (standard ISO 3691),Handle on rear frame fitted with a horn (as standard, except on the ME440, 445 and 450).Curve control: speed reduction on cornering, on three-wheel trucks.Hill start and anti-runaway option for slopes and travelling downhill for operation on inclines.

Regardless of body shape, users can easily access the driver’s cab from both sides thanks to:the fixed handles on the front left side of the overhead guard,the wide anti-slip steps located on both sides,the large open space on the platform.
