Did you know the Manitou name was chosen to embody a vehicle that ‘handles everything’? In 1958 Manitou pioneered the very first all-terrain forklift truck. Marcel Braud, the visionary founder of Manitou, conceived an innovative machine by reimagining the conventional farm tractor layout. He added a lifting mast and introduced hydraulic steering, giving birth to the world’s first all-terrain forklift truck. This ingenious creation not only propelled the company to success but also established its global influence. “I needed to find a name for these trucks… Thus, MANITOU was born, a name chosen during a family brainstorming session, symbolizing a vehicle that can ‘handle everything’! Pronounceable in all languages, it was the perfect choice for international expansion!” – Marcel Braud, Founder of Manitou Initially tailored for the construction sector, the MC 5 boasted a 500 kg load capacity. Fast forward to 2017, a revamped version of this historic forklift, the MC 18, entered the market with an impressive 1.8-tonne load capacity. Since the inception of the very first all-terrain forklift truck, Manitou has remained steadfast in its pursuit of innovation, a driving force behind the brand’s remarkable achievements. 📷: Manitou.com MANITOU Group #wearepatersonsimons 🌍 🏗 #funfactfriday #funfacts #manitou #history #liftingequipment #liftingsolutions #heavylifting #heavymachinery #heavyliftingequipment
