MANITOU M 50-2 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

The Manitou M 50-2 is a robust rough-terrain forklift engineered for demanding construction and material handling operations across diverse terrain types. Powered by a Perkins Euro 2 1104C 44 diesel engine producing 75 horsepower and 234.6 foot-pounds of torque at 1400 rpm, this machine delivers reliable performance with direct fuel injection and water cooling. The forklift features a 5000 kg maximum lifting capacity and accommodates a standard 2-stage mast with 3.7 meters (12.2 feet) of lift height, incorporating a 15-degree mast tip articulation both forward and rear for enhanced load handling flexibility. Built for all-terrain capability, the M 50-2 maintains 36 centimeters of ground clearance and features an 11.2-foot turning radius, enabling maneuverability in confined spaces despite its 18,055.9-pound operating weight. The machine measures 12.4 feet to the fork face with an overall width of 6.8 feet and height of 9.4 feet with the mast lowered, fitting within standard transport dimensions. Its transmission system achieves a maximum speed of 14.9 mph, suitable for on-site repositioning and inter-yard material movement. Hydraulic systems include a 97 liter-per-minute gear pump with 230-bar pressure capability, supported by a 21.2-gallon hydraulic oil reservoir and 22.5-gallon fuel tank for extended operational periods. The forklift employs oil-immersed multi-disc braking on both front and rear axles, providing reliable stopping power. Equipped with all-terrain tires (18-19.5 front, 10R17.5 rear) and hydro-proportional control levers, the M 50-2 combines simplicity and durability for versatile construction site applications.
