A recognized expert: Distributed in 140 countries through a network of 21,050 dealers, Manitou is recognized worldwide as the maker of superior machines for construction, agriculture, and mining. The mining sector is particularly important for Manitou, with a 30-year history of developing specific solutions for mine sites in 10 countries all around the globe.
A dedicated production plant: Castelfranco
In 2014, the group opened a “Mining Competence Center (MCC)” within its production plant in Castelfranco, Italy. This center houses 10 R&D experts who are constantly conceiving dedicated telehandlers and accessories for mining usage. Machines are configured to cater perfectly to the needs required by each mine site, for open-pit mines or underground mines. Among the adaptations realized: reinforcement of electrical wiring, emergency braking systems, protection grids on the whole cabin, emergency stop buttons....this list is far from being exhaustive!
This expertise is particularly valuable in an increasingly competitive environment. Cedric Augereau, Sales Director for the Southeast Asia region, explains: "Thanks to this competence center, we are able to bring real added value to our users. We offer our users tailor-made machine-accessory solutions capable of significantly increasing their productivity while providing them with optimal safety on sites that are particularly exposed to risks.” 7 models of telescopic forklifts dedicated exclusively to mining are produced in Italy, with a global offer of over 30 accessories. These machines have a lifting capacity of up to 33,000 kg for heavy duty applications on the largest mining equipment.
Basket attachments in underground mines
When extracting ore from underground mines, the risks are many and varied. In order to overcome these eventualities, the group is setting up very robust basket attachments to get as close as possible to the walls, while benefiting from great stability. These baskets can carry up to three people. The group also offers a standard range of mobile elevating work platforms or basket attachments compatible with telehandlers for all maintenance applications in tunnels or underground mines.
A complete range of tire handlers for underground and open air applications
Thanks to the all-terrain telescopic handlers and a range of 7 tire handlers, Manitou offers the possibility to perform tire changes in complete safety. The "radio control" option allows these operations to be done remotely, with an optimal view of the operation. The maneuver is made safer and easier for the operator even on slippery or rough terrain.
Two solutions for cylinder handler:
With a capacity of 4,000 kg, the CH 4 cylinder handler is simple and robust, it ensures the efficient replacement of cylinders in mining equipment. The CH 10 clamp, with a capacity of 10,500 kg, allows the replacement of the largest cylinders (diameter > 60 cm / weight up to 10.5 tons) and ensures a safe, simple intervention without suspended load. The radio control provides precision to the maneuver, avoiding any damage to the cylinder and the machine.
A wide range of rough terrain forklifts
Manitou has rough terrain capability ingrained in its DNA. For more than 60 years, we have been offering solutions to handle the load in tough applications. Our M and MC forklifts are adapted for mine sites. With a high ground clearance, 4-wheel drives, and stable mud tires, these machines will help you increase the productivity of your mine sites.
A strong representative dealer in the Philippines:
For more than 6 years, Pinnacle Parts Company, Inc. has partnered with Manitou as their official dealer in the Philippines. They are now accumulating expertise with Manitou products and they offer efficient and reliable service all around the Philippines.
