Manitou Group Launches Ultracompact Telehandler ULM / GCT

The ULM, ultralight telehandler is a real game changer where space is limited on urban jobsites. This ULM provides a compact, lightweight solution that reduces transportation costs and provides extra versatility adapting as a loader, telehandler and rough terrain forklift. At under 60 inches wide, 76 inches tall and an empty machine weight below 6,000 pounds, the ULM can be transported easily from site to site by a pickup truck and trailer. Maximum lift height for both units is 14 feet, 1 inch with maximum capacities of 2,200 pounds for the ULM 412 and 2,650 pounds for the ULM 415.

Highlights include:

• Enhanced safety: The roof grille has been removed and replaced by a transparent, impact-resistant polycarbonate window. The visibility when the load is in the upper position is exceptional, and the cab still meets the FOPS standard.
• Machines designed for profitability: Thanks to an anti-emulsion filter, the ULM truck is equipped with a hydraulic tank whose capacity is reduced by 25 percent compared to standard tanks. In addition, the hydraulic compensation has been replaced by an electronic compensation: the absence of a cylinder also reduces the need for oil, and limits the weight of the machine, as well as its width.
• Comfortability: The switch and move joystick (JSM), positioned on a floating armrest, allows you to work comfortably: you control your machine and can make all movements with one hand safely and without fatigue.
• Connected machines: To save you time, the ULM range of forklifts are connected machines. This means that you will have information and alerts on your PC, your tablet, your smartphone, to control maintenance, anticipate maintenance operations, reduce intervention times and monitor performance.
