Manitou has also announced their new ME electric forklift and MI industrial forklift lines. We can expect to see their expertise and high-quality equipment breaking into the very competitive warehouse/industrial market over the next year. Competing with companies like Toyota, Komatsu and Mitsubishi, Manitou Forklifts really will be giving them a run for their money.
There will be even bigger and better things to come from Manitou. Their tale of success has been told time and time again in Europe and they have had great expansion into many markets. We will see the same in North America. Despite stiff competition and some established brands here, Manitou will be changing the game and setting new standards across the board. Dedication to customers, safety and quality will lift them to the top of the N.A. material handling market.
