I’ve primarily used the MT 732 for agricultural tasks. It handles well overall, though the maintenance could've been slightly less frequent. Comfort level in the cabin is acceptable for longer durations. Its uptime reliability was solid throughout.

I've run a lot of handlers and this 1840's torque and traction actually surprised me. We're on pretty rough ground lately, and the four wheel steer and clearance got me in spots I'm not used to with some other brands. Swapping out attachments like the bucket and forks is quick with that Easy Connect, though the hook up still feels a bit stiff if it's cold out. Dash is straightforward and the joystick's easy on the wrist, I do appreciate that cab step upgrade-less climbing, less tripping. Just wish the dash screen wasn't so tiny. For what we do, gets the job done fine. Little rattly on bumpy days, I guess that's par for the course in this size though.

This model's modern approach with lithium-ion batteries reduces maintenance costs significantly, which I value. However, a small compromise is the limited operational duration per charge.

After working with the MT 732 for a while, I see its strengths. The range of visibility is a clear advantage for coordinating movements on crowded worksites. Having put about 100 hours on it, I’d commend the design-all controls fall right to hand. On occasions, I found shifting between certain gears less smooth, but it didn’t hinder overall operation.

I've been around a lot of telehandlers over the years, and I got some early hours on this new Manitou MT 625 electric. First thing, it's definitely quieter than the old diesel rigs, which is cool when working indoors or in city areas. The electric thing means no fumes, which is also a win. It lifts up to a decent height (almost 6 meters) and still gets around rough ground, but I’m not blown away by the battery life. Four hours on a single charge feels a bit light, especially during long days-I've gotta keep an eye on the battery more than I’d like. Costs are better though, maintenance seems simpler and it’s cheaper to run. Visibility from the cab is pretty solid and all the safety alerts and gadgets make life easier.

I just wrapped up a three-month stint with the Manitou MT 1440 on site. Climbing in and out is easy, just two steps, even with all my gear on. The suspension seat and air con are way better than the old model, honestly made long days a bit less rough. I hate fiddling with windows, the electric ones are a plus. 4WD works as expected, got me through soft spots without needing a push. Visibility is solid, mirrors pretty much wipe out most blind spots. Not crazy about the joystick, feels too light sometimes and a bit laggy for fine adjustments. Reliability was good, never had an actual breakdown, but wish the cab was a little less plasticky inside.

Been in construction a while and honestly, wasn't sure about this whole electric thing but the MT625e is pretty capable. Small size fits in over-tight spots and doesn’t wreck the ground. Controls are comfy, I like the joystick a lot. Not having to do so much maintenance is a plus, especially when parts are getting expensive. You do notice the difference in noise-sometimes feels weird not hearing the engine. Charging is the main hiccup. Extended battery is better if you can get it, but I just deal with it. Safety features are decent, haven’t seen too many issues. It’s new tech, so time will tell on reliability. For now, works fine.

I've been using the MT 625e recently, and I appreciate its electric design-no emissions and quiet operation make it great for urban or indoor tasks. The lift capacity of 2.5 tons is workable, though a slightly longer battery life would help on extended jobs.

I've used the Manitou MT 1440 extensively on-site for a week. Notably, the stabilizer legs do a great job ensuring steady operations, even on uneven terrain. The 360-degree cab visibility makes maneuvering safer and more efficient in crowded settings. While the air-conditioned cab was a welcome relief, the seating comfort could see slight improvement for longer shifts. Overall, it does the job effectively.
