Manitou says that its investment in its addition aerial lift manufacturing facility in Candé, France will help support the additional demand from North America. The new facility is due to come on stream next year.

All four models are powered by a Kubota diesels, and feature 360 degree continuous slew. Production of the North American models is not scheduled to begin until 2021.

Product line manager Mike Sover said: “These new TJ models are engineered with the customer in mind, incorporating new innovative features in safety and performance. Our aerial work platforms lead the industry in Europe, providing maximum productivity and smooth operation. Operators can quickly make multiple movements at the same time, from changing the platform direction to lifting the boom and rotating the machine.”
