Manitou telehandler rental – fixed, roto and heavy-duty from a single source
Since 1981, Manitou has set the standard for telehandlers in construction, industry and agriculture with its Maniscopic range. Luibl Rental rents out the entire Manitou telehandler portfolio — from compact MT models with a load capacity from 2.5 tonnes to the heavy-duty MHT class with 25 tonnes of lifting force and rotating MRT models with lift heights of up to 35 metres. Availability at short notice, inspection according to FEM 4.004 and delivery throughout Slovakia make your enquiry simple. Choose the design that suits your site — we deliver by low-loader to your site.
Which types of Manitou telehandlers are there?
Manitou divides its telehandler portfolio into four clearly defined types. Which variant is suitable depends on three factors: load capacity, required reach and operating environment.
-
Fixed telehandlers (MT series) — The boom is fixed to the chassis and loads are picked up to the front. High stability even without outriggers, linear power delivery when moving loads forward. MT models cover lift heights from 4 to 18 metres and load capacities between 2 and 4 tonnes. The classic choice for construction, logistics and building construction with changing pick-up points. → Manitou fixed telehandlers
-
Roto telehandlers (MRT series) — The superstructure rotates continuously through 360 degrees on the undercarriage. Loads are positioned precisely without having to move the chassis. Saves time, protects the ground and reduces movements in the danger zone. MRT Vision Plus with RFID attachment recognition, lift heights up to 35 metres, load capacities up to 7 tonnes. → Manitou roto telehandlers
-
Heavy-duty telehandlers (MHT series) — Mining and Heavy Telehandler, designed for loads from 10 tonnes. Reinforced lifting frames, hydrostatic four-wheel drive, three steering modes, able to travel under full load. Models such as the MHT 10120 (12 t), MHT 10200 (20 t) and MHT 11250 (25 t) are the choice for steel construction, port handling, mining and bridge construction. → View the Manitou MHT 11250
-
Electric telehandlers — Lithium-ion battery, locally emission-free, low noise. Models such as the MT 625e bring the performance of the diesel version into halls, food and pharmaceutical environments, hospitals and city-centre sites with noise and emission restrictions. → Electric telehandlers
Manitou telescopic wheel loaders (MLA series) and agricultural MLT models complement the portfolio in agricultural machinery — available through Luibl on request.

What are Manitou telehandlers used for?
Four sectors dominate rental demand. The right model choice depends on load capacity, lift height and terrain requirements — the following assignments are the most common practical scenarios.
-
Building and shell construction — Supplying floors with bricks, mortar silos, steel girders, precast elements. Standard machines: MT 1440 (14 m) and MT 1840 (18 m) for buildings up to six storeys, MRT 2150 (21 m) for high-rise projects with rotating load positioning.
-
Industrial assembly — Plant construction, facade assembly, steel hall construction, power plant projects. The MRT series with a personnel basket becomes a heavy-duty aerial work platform — operators must have the required operator competence in line with applicable Slovak safety rules. RFID attachment recognition automatically adjusts the load chart when changing tools.
-
Mining, steel construction and heavy industry — Moving coils, steel plates, machine groups beyond the 10-tonne limit. The MHT series is the market leader in the heavy-duty telehandler segment. The MHT 10200 (20 t) and MHT 11250 (25 t) replace space-consuming heavy-duty cranes with outriggers in many cases.
-
Agriculture and recycling — Agricultural MLT models (with Stage V engine and greater reach than standard MT) for farm operations, silage, manure and straw logistics. Available through Luibl on request — contact our dispatch team directly.
Attachments for Manitou telehandlers
The true strength of a Manitou telehandler lies in its combination with the right attachment. The quick-change system (E-Reco) automatically recognises the coupled tool and loads the matching load chart — a safety advantage especially for MRT models with frequent tool changes during operation.
-
Pallet forks and load forks — Classic pallet transport in building construction and logistics. Optionally with side shifter and fork positioner.
-
Load hooks and winches — Turn the telehandler into a mobile crane. The PT lattice jib winch is ideal for lifting loads over obstructions or roof overhangs.
-
Personnel baskets — Platform capacity up to 1,000 kg, usable as a heavy-duty aerial work platform. Prerequisites: personal fall protection equipment, basket briefing and, for MRT, the required operator competence.
-
Buckets — Bulk material handling for gardening and landscaping, earthworks, recycling yards.
-
Vacuum lifters — In combination with MRT models, the first choice for modern glass and facade construction.
-
Cylinder and pipe clamps, tyre handlers, positioners — Special attachments for industrial assembly, port handling and tyre service.
What qualification do you need for a Manitou telehandler?
Operating telehandlers is subject to clearly defined requirements of the occupational safety rules (Act No. 124/2006 Coll.), Government Regulation No. 392/2006 Coll. (work equipment) and the EU Machinery Directive. Knowing these requirements well helps you avoid fines, loss of insurance cover and — above all — accidents.
-
Operator competence · Telehandler operators must have the required operator competence in line with applicable Slovak safety rules. For roto MRT models and for basket use as an aerial work platform, check that the operator's qualification also covers these modes.
-
Fall protection in the basket · When working with a personnel basket, personal fall protection equipment is required (work at height under Government Regulation No. 147/2013 Coll.). It absorbs the whiplash effect of an unexpected basket swing — without it, a sudden boom movement can throw a person out of the basket.
-
FEM 4.004 — regular inspection · All Manitou rental telehandlers at Luibl are inspected according to FEM 4.004 (hydraulics, safety systems, stability, load moment limiter). The inspection is valid on delivery; for long-term rentals, Luibl carries out the follow-up inspections at no extra charge.
-
Stage V engines · Current MT, MRT and MHT models are equipped with Stage V diesel engines under EU Regulation 2016/1628 — a prerequisite for use in emission-monitored industrial zones and municipal low-emission zones.
-
Machine-specific briefing · Beyond the basic qualification, every operator must be briefed on the specific rental machine — load chart, JSM joystick functions, emergency lowering, outrigger operation. Luibl offers this briefing with every machine delivery.
An operator briefing on handover is part of the rental — directly at your site if required.
In Slovakia, Government Regulation No. 392/2006 Coll. applies to work equipment, together with the occupational safety rules on operator competence; for operators with foreign qualifications, we recommend checking their recognition.
How much does it cost to rent a Manitou telehandler?
The daily rate depends on the type, lift height, load capacity and rental period. Three cost factors are key:
-
Type and model class — Compact fixed MT models (MT 625, MT 930) have the lowest daily rate. Standard building construction models (MT 1440, MT 1840) are in the mid-range. Roto telehandlers (MRT 2150 to MRT 3570) are significantly more expensive due to their greater complexity and lift height. Heavy-duty MHT models form the top price segment, often with an individual project price.
-
Rental period — Daily rental (1–3 days) has the highest daily rate. Weekly rental reduces it noticeably. Long-term rental of three months or more includes inspections, maintenance and in some cases a refuelling service in the price and brings the daily rate down to industrial level.
-
Delivery and attachments — Delivered by low-loader to your site, throughout Slovakia. Attachments (load hook, personnel basket, winch, vacuum lifter) are priced separately as a flat rate.
