Over · Manitou MT1740Overzicht
The Manitou MT1740 is a high-capacity telescopic handler, commonly referred to as a telehandler, designed for demanding material-handling operations across construction, agriculture, and industrial sites. It combines extended reach with substantial lift capacity, positioning it in the upper segment of the rough-terrain telehandler class. Manitou is a French manufacturer with a long-established reputation in the global telehandler market, and the MT1740 represents one of its larger-frame configurations.
Typische toepassingenWaar deze machine wordt gebruikt
Telehandlers of this class are widely used for placing heavy loads at height on construction sites, handling bulk materials such as pallets, pipes, and precast elements, and supporting agricultural operations including bale handling and feed distribution. The extended boom reach typical of this category makes the machine suitable for work on multi-story building projects and large-footprint sites where conventional forklifts cannot operate effectively. Attachments such as forks, buckets, and work platforms further expand the range of tasks this class of machine can perform.
Tweedehandsmarkt inspectieWat je moet controleren voordat je koopt
When evaluating a used Manitou MT1740, inspectors should assess the condition of the telescopic boom sections for wear, scoring, and seal integrity, as hydraulic cylinder and seal maintenance is a key cost driver in this machine class. The carriage and headstock attachment interface should be checked for play and wear. Transmission, axle, and four-wheel-steering system function should be verified across all steering modes. Service history documentation, particularly evidence of scheduled filter and hydraulic fluid changes, carries significant weight in establishing machine reliability. A test cycle under load is advisable before purchase to confirm boom extension, levelling system accuracy, and load-management system operation.
Huidige marktPrijspositie
Available market data places the Manitou MT1740 at a European market average of EUR 35,900, with the current observed price range also sitting at EUR 35,900. This single-point pricing picture suggests limited current supply in the tracked dataset rather than a broad distribution of asking prices. Prospective buyers should benchmark this figure against comparable high-reach telehandlers from competing manufacturers such as JCB, Merlo, and Liebherr to establish whether the asking price reflects prevailing demand and machine condition.
