Conquering All Terrains: The Manitou Story

The ability to move massive payloads across a flat, forgiving warehouse floor is one thing, but transporting heavy materials through the mud, ruts, and unstable ground of an active job site requires an entirely different class of machinery. The Manitou brand was forged to conquer this exact challenge, officially launching its legacy with the invention of the world's very first all-terrain forklift. Today, operating out of its headquarters in Ancenis, France, Manitou stands as the undisputed flagship brand of the formidable Manitou Group.

A Global Industrial Powerhouse

The Manitou Group operates with a singular priority: creating enduring value while meeting the complex challenges of modern heavy industry. Operating through three distinct brands—Manitou, Gehl, and MustangbyManitou—the conglomerate commands a massive global footprint. Supported by a dedicated workforce of 4,400 employees spanning 140 countries, the group generated a staggering €1.6 billion in revenue in 2020.

At the core of this expansive operation is an uncompromising commitment to continuous innovation. Manitou aggressively engineers solutions focused on maximizing raw machine performance, elevating operator comfort, reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for fleet managers, and actively minimizing the environmental impact of heavy equipment.

An Arsenal for Construction, Industry, and Agriculture

Since the creation of their original all-terrain forklift, Manitou has relentlessly expanded its engineering capabilities to support the grueling demands of the construction, industrial, and agricultural sectors. Their modern, highly versatile lineup of machinery includes:

 Telehandlers: Both rough-terrain fixed and advanced rotating models engineered for extreme vertical reach and payload capacity.

 Forklifts: Ranging from rugged rough-terrain units to specialized industrial and semi-industrial models, alongside highly mobile truck-mounted variants.

 Earthmoving Equipment: Highly maneuverable skid loaders, compact track loaders, and versatile backhoe loaders.

By backing this expansive heavy-duty lineup with a massive catalog of purpose-built attachments and dedicated field services, Manitou ensures that operators across the globe possess the exact mechanical muscle required to master the toughest terrains on earth.
