Meet the Manitou Ultra Light Telehandler – Your Compact Solution for Maximum Efficiency

 

When it comes to versatility and ease of transport between worksites, Manitou ULM telehandler is the ultimate game-changer. Designed to cater to the diverse needs of users, this ultra-compact wonder, known as the “ULM,” boasts two exceptional models: the ULM 412 H, with an impressive lifting capacity of 1250kg, and the ULM 415 H, which can handle up to 1500kg, both soaring to a lift height of 4.30 meters. The ULM 412 H flaunts a transportable weight of just 2500kg, while its robust sibling, the 415 H, weighs in at 2700kg (depending on the configuration). Remarkably, both can be easily transported using a trailer with a PTAC of 3,500kg.

In terms of dimensions, the ULM telehandler ranks among the most compact in the market, boasting a slender width of just 1.49 meters and a modest height of 1.92 meters. These compact proportions make it an ideal fit for a myriad of industries, ranging from construction, agriculture, landscaping, to equestrian pursuits.

The ULM telehandler’s adaptability knows no bounds, enabling users to operate efficiently even within the tightest spaces and facilitating seamless transport between customer sites using a single trailer. The result? Significant cost savings and a substantial boost in production time.

Driver Experience Like Never Before

Step inside the ULM telehandler, and you’ll find a world of unobstructed visibility. Camille Rouvrais, the product manager at Manitou, points out a remarkable feature, stating, “We’ve replaced the roof grille with a transparent, shock-resistant polycarbonate window, ensuring complete compliance with the FOPS standard.” This enhanced visibility extends to the operator’s lateral view as well. The hydraulic hoses ingeniously find their place within the boom, and the engine cover is thoughtfully positioned lower to the right of the operator, ensuring a clear side view.

The Manitou ULM telehandler is more than just a compact machine; it’s a revolutionary solution that puts efficiency and operator experience at the forefront. Whether you’re navigating construction sites, tending to agricultural needs, enhancing landscapes, or caring for equestrian pursuits, the ULM telehandler has your back.
