About · Manitou MT730Overview
The Manitou MT730 is a telescopic handler, commonly referred to as a telehandler, positioned in the mid-capacity segment of the materials-handling market. It is designed to combine the reach of a telescopic boom with the versatility of interchangeable attachments, making it a multi-purpose lifting machine. As a Manitou product, it belongs to a manufacturer with established standing in the European agricultural and construction telehandler sectors.
Typical applicationsWhere this machine is used
Telehandlers in this class are widely used in agricultural operations for bale and pallet handling, silage work, and yard management. On construction sites they serve in material placement, block laying support, and general site logistics. The ability to accept forks, buckets, and lifting jibs makes machines of this type suitable across mixed-use environments where a single machine must cover several handling tasks.
Used-market inspectionWhat to check before buying
Prospective buyers should carry out a thorough boom and carriage inspection, checking for wear in the telescopic sections, chain or chain-roller condition, and the integrity of hydraulic hose routing along the boom. Attachment coupler condition and the availability of original attachment documentation add practical value. Engine bay checks should cover coolant and oil condition, air filter service status, and any visible hydraulic leaks at cylinders and fittings. A full function test under load, including boom extension, levelling system operation where fitted, and steering response in all modes, is advisable before purchase. Documented service history from a Manitou dealer or qualified telehandler specialist supports confidence in the machine's maintenance record.
Current marketPrice position
In the current European used-equipment market, the MT730 is trading at an average of EUR 50,900, with a typical price range of EUR 48,500 to EUR 53,300. This range reflects the machine's position as a recognised model within the Manitou lineup, which competes in the European telehandler sector alongside brands such as JCB, Merlo, and Dieci. Pricing within this band will vary according to hours recorded, attachment configuration, service history, and overall condition.
