The new models are equipped with the standard safety features seen across the MI offering, including a panoramic rear-view mirror, optimized hose routing in the mast and a honeycomb roof for added visibility and protection. In addition, the models have working lights on the cab, front and rear headlights with blinkers and a backup alarm.
Operators can also safely enter the cab with a low, wide anti-slip step on each side of the forklift. www.manitou.com
