MANITOU MSI 30LPG SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

Technical Description

The Manitou MSI 30 LPG is a semi-industrial forklift powered by a Toyota 4Y propane engine delivering 53 horsepower and 162 Newton-meters of torque at 2200 rpm, with a 136.5 cubic inch displacement. This compact, four-wheel ride-on forklift features a maximum load capacity of 3000 kg (6614 lbs) at a 20-inch load center and achieves a maximum lifting height of 4.7 meters (15.5 feet). The vehicle operates at speeds up to 21 kilometers per hour (13 mph) and maintains an 8-foot turning radius with exceptional maneuverability suitable for confined spaces. The hydrostatic REXROTH transmission with electromagnetic reversing enables precise, millimetric control for delicate load handling operations. The MSI 30 LPG weighs approximately 4.5 metric tons and incorporates a sophisticated suspension system spanning the cab, seat, tires, and load shock absorber to minimize operator fatigue and musculoskeletal strain. Its hydrostatic drive system provides smooth acceleration and deceleration with impressive gradeability of approximately 29-32 percent when laden. The forklift includes a panoramic roof and optimized mast visibility design to enhance operator safety and reduce blind spots. Key features include hydraulic braking systems, working hydraulic pressure of 3191 PSI for attachments, and an oil flow rate of 12 US gallons per minute. The 73.5-liter fuel tank ensures extended operational range, while the 95-liter hydrostatic transmission capacity supports sustained productivity in demanding semi-industrial applications including warehouse operations, material handling, and precision positioning tasks.
