Manitou will once again return to the Ploughing to showcase its extensive range of telehandlers, pivot steer loaders and skid steer loaders, aimed at both agricultural and construction markets.

Making its Irish show debut will be the all-new MLT 625e fully electric, battery-powered, compact telehandler.

The MLT 625e is the firm’s first electric machine designed for the agricultural market, claiming performance that is equivalent to the diesel-powered MLT 625. Equipped with a 35-kWh lithium-ion battery, Manitou claims it offers a range of five hours in a typical farmyard workload. In terms of capacities, it can lift 2t to a maximum height of 5.85m, while offering a maximum lift capacity of 2.5t.
