MANITOU MSI 30 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Manitou MSI 30 is a semi-industrial diesel forklift engineered for versatile material handling applications requiring precision and reliability. Powered by a 4-cylinder 404 C 22T engine producing 60 horsepower and 140.2 foot-pounds of torque at 1800 rpm, this machine delivers consistent performance across demanding work environments. The forklift accommodates a maximum load capacity of 6,613.9 pounds with a 19.7-inch load center, enabling efficient handling of standard pallets and custom loads. The MSI 30 features a maximum lifting height of 13.8 feet, allowing access to elevated storage areas while maintaining exceptional ground clearance of 10.3 inches beneath the mast. Its compact overall width of 4.4 feet and turning radius of 2.63 meters enable efficient operation in congested warehouse and industrial spaces. The machine maintains a travel speed of 12.5 mph, facilitating seamless movement between work stations without compromising control or safety. Equipped with hydrostatic transmission technology, the MSI 30 delivers smooth, precise operation with fingertip control for accurate load positioning. The advanced suspension system incorporates four distinct components—cab, seat, tires, and load shock absorber—significantly reducing operator fatigue during extended shifts. With an operating weight of 9,987 pounds and supported by dual front and rear wheels fitted with heavy-duty tires, the forklift provides exceptional stability on varied terrains. The operator station features panoramic visibility through the optimized mast design and generous overhead guard clearance of 7 feet, enhancing safety and situational awareness. This combination of load capacity, lifting height, maneuverability, and driver comfort establishes the MSI 30 as an ideal solution for semi-industrial logistics and warehouse operations.
