Differences Between Semi-Industrial Trucks & Telehanders

Nowadays, businesses are spoilt for choice when it comes to their material handling solutions. Yet, that can be both a blessing and a curse . . . Which is why in this video, we show you the differences between semi-industrial trucks, telehandlers and standard counterbalance trucks.

00:00 - Introduction to Manitou MT 1840 with a Stage Five Engine
Good morning and welcome to this Locators video. Today we should be doing a product features and walk around on the Manitou MT 1840 with a stage five engine.
00:09 - Lockable Fuel Cap
On this side of the machine – right by the cab – you’ll find a lockable fuel cap with a cover; not only to put the cap in, but also to protect the cap from ingress of dirt and other debris.
00:24 - Lockable Toolbox
Underneath the cab is a lockable toolbox; very handy for your grease gun – if you don’t have automatic greasing fitted – and other items that you don’t necessarily want in the cabin itself.
00:36 - Hydraulic Site Gauge
On the side of the hydraulic tank, just at the back of the cap is the hydraulic sight gauge
00:42 - Road Lights
The machine comes fitted with road lights so you can use it on the road . . . If you want to register for the road, that is. The roadblocks themselves, to comply with legislation, has to be in the down position. Clearly, in this position they may get damaged on site. So what can we do? We can move those up. Still functioning – but no longer in a position to be damaged.
01:06 - Engine
The machine is powered by Deutz’ 75 horsepower stage five engine. The engine bonnet is very easy to access. Right on the front is the dipstick for the engine oil. Filler on the top just by the head of the tank. Easy access to the air filter. Easy access to other filters, and you can see at the back . . . the DPF, which enables us to be stage five ready on this machine.
01:37 - Frame Levelling
The MT 1840 is not only fitted with stabilisers – which stay within the confines of the machine when they’re stowed – but also frame levelling. So the frame levelling can be used to level the machine if you don’t want to use the stabilisers and can also be levelled up from the cab to ensure that your chassis and axle are parallel when travelling.
02:04 - In Conclusion

So the frame levelling can be used to level the machine if you don’t want to use the stabilisers and can also be levelled up from the cab to ensure that your chassis and axle are parallel when travelling.

What our clients say

We are very pleased with the change from an engine to an electric fleet. The trucks have been well received by our operators as they are comfortable and quiet to drive and give excellent protection from the elements. We even have the option and flexibility to use spare batteries and a simple battery change system if we ever want to work back to back shifts in the future. Locators also design, supply and install all types of racking and storage systems. They reconfigured the CooperVision warehouse for narrow aisle operation which increases the storage density and pallet locations. Locators supplied Aisle-Master articulated forklifts to work in this area.

Coopervision, Hamble

We have worked with Locators for nearly 20 years. We are confident they can always make the best use of the space we have available and provide us with forklifts that are well suited for the long loads and other stock we have to move.

Colin Macgregor
Director, Y Goldberg

Every time we look at an application, Locators approach it like a blank canvas and always recommend the best equipment for our business. Locators have proved themselves as a very reliable and proactive service provider by keeping our trucks working and our fleet costs as low as possible.

Adam Conrad
 Group Transport Manager for Covers

Being able to work with one supplier for storage and materials handling has been a benefit to us. Locators managed the complete installation and ensured the correct materials handling equipment was specified for their design. They also service and maintain all of the equipment they have supplied and offer a rack inspection service to make sure our warehouse remains a safe working environment. We are very happy with our new facility and we believe we have made the best use of the available space.

Marc Congdon
Engineering Manager, Costa

We purchased our first Toyota forklift from Locators 14 years ago for our farm. This truck has been very reliable and is still in service so we had no hesitation in deciding to purchase another Toyota machine. Locators recommended an electric forklift for our machinery depot as it is very quiet, has low running costs and does not create any pollution, making it ideal for working both inside and outside. Our operators are very pleased with our new Toyota truck and our business is very happy to be operating a forklift that has such a low impact on the environment.

Ed Smales
Director, NFFM

Locators installed the new racking system within a tight timeframe while our business was fully operational. They have provided us with a facility that has a similar storage capacity and reduced the size of our forklift fleet allowing us to lease one building instead of two. We are very happy with the outcome.

Paul Bickell
Nippon Express

Locators gave us the benefit of working with just one supplier for all of the storage and materials handling requirements of this project. By mixing 3 and 4 wheel trucks from the same model range, we have gained extra pallet locations and have the option to battery change between them and work multi-shift in the future. I was initially sceptical that electric trucks could replace LPG, but I am very pleased with the successful outcome of this project.

Mark Davis
Logistics Supervisor for Hall & Woodhouse brewery

It is a great benefit to us that we have a single source supplier who understands the needs of our business. This saves us time, improves efficiency and ultimately reduces cost.
