Manitou launched five new large-frame skid steers and compact track loaders (CTLs) ranging in operating capacity from 3,250 to 3,600 lbs.
All five will be present at ConExpo-Con/Agg, where Manitou will exhibit in the Festival Grounds (F42042).
According to the company, each new skid steer and CTL model is a ground-up, modern industrial redesign featuring breakout force, hydraulic horsepower and auxiliary hydraulic performance that meets or exceeds many of the largest comparable machines in the industry.
“These five new models represent the best of Manitou global innovation matched with North American craftsmanship – from an engineering and design team that has built skid steers and CTLs in South Dakota for more than 50 years,” says Ilmars Nartish, vice president of North America at Manitou.”
Nathan Ryan, global product manager of skid steers and CTLs at Manitou, says demand for larger skid steers and CTLs continues to grow.
“It’s preferred to add that power and capacity in the footprint of a compact machine that’s still easy to transport and is familiar to operators versus adding a larger piece of construction equipment in many applications,” Ryan says. “At Manitou, we approached this as an opportunity to completely redesign the larger end of our product line to go toe-to-toe with other large-frame machines in the industry while maintaining our focus on lower total cost of ownership, versatility through attachment capabilities and connected technologies that improve fleet management.”
The expansion of a core product line, among the most in-demand in the construction, rental, and agricultural industries, fits Manitou’s greater vision of delivering a full-line fleet to the North American market.
