Manitou MXT 1740: Built to Take Your Jobsite Higher
When materials need to move higher, farther, and more efficiently, having the right equipment can make a major difference on site. The Manitou MXT 1740 telehandler, available through Genequip in Guyana, combines substantial lifting capacity, long reach, and attachment versatility in one machine. Designed for demanding construction and industrial applications, it gives operators the flexibility to handle a wide range of material-handling tasks without relying on multiple pieces of equipment.
Reach Up to 17.4 Metres
One of the MXT 1740's defining capabilities is its reach.
With a maximum lifting height of 17.4 metres and maximum outreach of 13.48 metres, the telehandler can position materials in areas that may be difficult to access with conventional forklifts or loaders. Its rated maximum capacity reaches 4,000 kg, giving contractors a combination of height, reach and lifting capability for demanding job sites. This makes it particularly useful for applications such as moving construction materials, loading and unloading, jobsite preparation, and maintenance work at height. Manitou specifically identifies these among the MXT 1740's intended applications.
92 HP of Perkins Power
Power comes from a 4-cylinder Perkins 1104D-44T EPA diesel engine, producing 92 hp (70 kW) and up to 392 Nm of torque. The machine uses a torque-converter transmission with four forward and four reverse gears and has a maximum travel speed of 28 km/h. Its hydraulic system delivers up to 96.7 litres per minute at 250 bar.
Together, these systems are designed to give the MXT 1740 the performance required for everyday lifting and material-handling operations on active worksites.
Made to Manoeuvre Around the Jobsite
A machine capable of reaching more than 17 metres still needs to be practical on the ground.
The MXT 1740 features three steering modes, helping operators manoeuvre in different working conditions. Manitou also equips the machine with four driven wheels and stabilisers for operations requiring additional stability. Its external turning radius over the tyres is approximately 4.05 metres, while ground clearance is 380 mm on the MXT 1740 P.
For contractors working across changing site conditions, that combination of reach, mobility and manoeuvrability can help one machine take on several roles during the course of a project.
More Than a Telehandler
Where the MXT 1740 becomes especially useful is its ability to work with different attachments.
Manitou officially lists a broad selection of compatible accessories for the machine, including buckets, concrete skips, extension jibs, hooks, fork carriages, material baskets, and other material-handling attachments. Genequip's current MXT 1740 package deal adds even more versatility with:
Material Basket – expands the machine's capabilities for approved material-handling applications at height.
Two-Hook Jib Attachment – Manitou lists the compatible jib with two lifting points, rated at up to 4,000 kg at the first hook and 1,200 kg at the second, subject to the machine's applicable load chart and operating configuration.
Spare Wheel – giving the owner an additional replacement wheel as part of Genequip's package.
Instead of purchasing a telehandler for one narrowly defined task, businesses can configure the MXT 1740 for different requirements as work progresses.
One Machine. More Possibilities.
For construction companies, industrial operators, and other businesses that regularly need to lift and position materials, versatility has a direct impact on productivity. The Manitou MXT 1740 brings together a 4,000 kg maximum capacity, 17.4 m maximum lifting height, 13.48 m maximum outreach, and a 92 hp engine in a machine designed to take on multiple material-handling applications.
And with Genequip's package deal adding a material basket, jib attachment, and spare wheel, businesses can get even more functionality from their investment from day one.
