In 1958, a spark of ingenuity ignited in the mind of Marcel Braud. He pondered, “Why not flip the design of a farm tractor? Add a mast and hydraulics?” This question birthed the first rough-terrain forklift. Here at Manitou, we celebrate this legacy of innovation. Manitou’s journey began with this simple idea. It transformed how we handle materials in challenging environments. Braud needed a name for his creation. His family brainstormed. They chose “Manitou.” This name, meaning “it handles everything,” resonated perfectly with the machine’s versatility. Manitou was also pronounceable in various languages. This foresight paved the way for the company’s global expansion. The Manitou Group continues this innovative spirit. They are driven by creating efficient and safe solutions for users worldwide. They strive to lessen the burden of work and boost productivity. So, as you stand here, consider the impact of that initial spark. From a simple idea, Manitou grew into a global leader. They continue to shape the landscape of material handling.
