Manitou Australia will show what it says is the world’s largest telescopic handler on Stand R103 during AIMEX, September 6-9. Managing director Stuart Walker said the giant handler would be just one of a number of innovative mining solutions and surprises on the Manitou stand. “We will also display an M50-4 rough terrain forklift, a Maniaccess elevating work platform, a Mustang skid steer loader and will preview Manitou’s underground mining solutions,” he said. Patented hydraulic cylinders and tyre handlers will also feature on the Manitou stand. “As well as all these innovations there will be a chance for visitors to win a trip for two to Minexpo 2012 in Las Vegas.”
