Manitou has launched a range of cylinder handlers for safer materials handling.
The MHT has been developed to safely and efficiently handle hydraulic cylinders on shovels.
The handler works by positively grabbing the cylinder before pins are removed thus removing the effect of a suspended and swinging load
Safety if further enhanced through the integrated load management system on the Manitou MHT Range.
The pre-programmed loads charts for the Manitou MHT ensure that each and every lift is completed in absolute safety.
The handler comes with eight different possible movements, allowing service crews to easily line up the cylinder barrel
According to the company, “if you want to move the cylinder an inch you can, if you want to move it 6 you can all in complete safety.”
Other significant features of the Manitou MHT include the machine’s ability to service the hydraulic shovel, drag line, dump truck in situ.
