A Brief History

In the latter part of the 1950s the first 4-wheel drive rough terrain lift truck was introduced by Manitou. They started their manufacturing process within Ancenis, France. Not long after, during the 1960s, the very first telescoping boom rough terrain lift truck came about. This particular model transformed the way supplies were handled within congested construction sites, specially locations where traditional models of industrial products were not being used.

Various improvements have been made during the past three decades on the automatic hydraulic frame and the telescoping boom. These updated designs have greatly improved stability and load capacity. Many enhancements of safety features have changed this materials handling alternative into a vital tool.

The rough terrain lift truck is utilized in many key businesses such as farming, mining, construction and military applications. Certain units of rough terrain lift trucks could be used on every surface, paved and rough. These units are referred to as all-terrain forklifts. This machine can transport objects from outside waiting transportation to within the factory and vice versa.

Being outfitted with deep tread tires, helps guarantee that the vehicle could be utilized in most outdoor applications. They can successfully function on slippery, rough or uneven surfaces. The large pneumatic tires could travel easily over wood, rocks, sand, ice, snow and mud.

These equipment have transformed the material handling business. They are here to stay. By keeping up your maintenance schedule, your forklift could serve you for many years to come.
