Manitou Group 5-Section Boom Rotator Brings 131 Feet of Lift Height
Manitou Group has introduced its new MRT 4080 — the largest “High Lift” in its offering of MRT Vision+ rotating telehandlers. This new five-section boom rotator provides a lifting height of 131 feet 3 inches (40 m), which is 17 feet higher than the previous MRT 3570 model, and it provides up to 17,630 pounds (8,000 kg) lifting capacity. It is capable of an 88-foot maximum outreach.
The MRT 4080 is built with new innovative and design features around comfort, performance, energy savings, safety and efficiency. These include a 3-in-1 capability to function simultaneously as a telehandler, mobile crane and aerial work platform. This versatility guarantees optimal performance on construction and industrial sites, while adjustable stabilization and unparalleled ground clearance allows for quick and safe setup, even on restricted or all-terrain worksites.
The Manitou Telescopic Boom Management offers dual-patented innovation (hydraulic and electronic) with boom sections that are controlled independently and automatically. This boom design ensures precision and performance at very high reach.
With 360° turret rotation and exceptional cab visibility, the MRT 4080 allows users to perform operations without repositioning the machine to reduce downtime.
A Stop and Start function is now standard to reduce fuel consumption. This feature automatically shuts down the engine and associated hour meter when the MRT 4080 rotating telehandler is idling without hydraulic activity or machine movement, based on time setting. It also provides a fast restart when the operator interacts with the joystick and/or the throttle pedal.
With a 155 kW (211 hp) Yanmar Stage V engine, the MRT 4080 rotating telehandler provides the power to handle tough applications, while also meeting the latest emissions standards.
Other important features include the Manitou Safety System, a load indicating and limiting device; 4-sided chassis floor access and quick stabilization even on rough terrain; and the Manitou E-RECO attachment recognition system. This system automatically sets the correct load charts and includes a remote control that displays load moment limits while the operator is standing outside the cab. The machine’s Hydrostatic CVT Transmission automatically adapts to and limits travel speed based on the attachment and live load weight.
Available attachments include an extension jib with winch, floating fork carriage, variable speed winch and standard winch, plus a slewing extendible platform with winch.
