Technical Description

The Manitou M 50 forklift is a robust diesel-powered industrial vehicle designed for heavy-duty lifting and material handling applications. It features a 236 cubic inch displacement engine delivering 80 hp (60 kW) at 2200 rpm, providing powerful torque to drive lifting and movement operations efficiently. The forklift has a maximum load capacity of 10,000 lbs, supported by a mast capable of tipping forward 45 degrees and backward 10 degrees, ensuring optimal load stability and maneuverability during handling. Dimensionally, the M 50 measures 12.1 feet in length to the fork face, 7.3 feet in overall width, and 8.4 feet in height with the mast lowered. It maintains a ground clearance of 1.1 inches and a wheelbase of 7.1 feet, facilitating maneuverability with a turning radius of 9.8 feet. The operating weight stands at 14,800 lbs, balancing structural robustness with mobility. Equipped with two front and two rear wheels, it rides on front tires sized 15x19.5 and rear tires sized 12x16.5, designed to provide traction and stability on various surfaces. The forklift reaches a maximum speed of 16 mph (26 kph), allowing for efficient transport of materials across job sites. Its mast and hydraulic systems are engineered for reliable performance under demanding conditions, supporting operational productivity and safety. This combination of power, load capacity, and mobility makes the Manitou M 50 a versatile choice for construction, industrial, and rough terrain environments where heavy lifting and precise handling are critical.
