I've had the chance to operate the MLT 735, and overall, it's a solid telehandler. The 7m reach combined with a 3.5-ton lift capacity comes in handy for most tasks. The LED front work lights are a nice feature for working into the evening. I've noticed a slight fade near the exhaust and a couple of scratches on the body-not ideal, but nothing that affects functionality. Air conditioning makes a big difference for comfort. After using it for a few projects, I'd give it a thumbs-up, but it does have some small nicks.

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 have been using the Manitou MT 625 telescopic forklift at my warehouse for over a year now. This model has proven itself to be a functional and practical piece of equipment. Equipped with a Kubota V2403-CR-TE4B diesel engine, the forklift demonstrates good traction characteristics and fuel efficiency. During operation, I had to replace the air filter and oil filter as part of routine maintenance. My advice is to always perform scheduled inspections and replace the most in-demand parts on time.

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 have been using the Manitou MT 625, manufactured in 20 years, and I am completely satisfied with its technical characteristics and operational qualities. Equipped with a turbocharged diesel engine D1105-E4B-TXNU-1 with electronic control, the loader stands out for its impressive power and fuel efficiency. It easily handles tall loads. I liked the driver's cab, where you can adjust everything to your liking, including the electronics. Overall, the Manitou MT 625 is a powerful, maneuverable, and reliable assistant in the warehouse.

Been running the MLT 625 for about six months now mostly around the yard and fields, swapping between forks and bucket. The boom’s single extension setup is sturdy. Doesn’t flex much even when I’m lifting heavy round bales all the way up. Visibility out the cab is alright but I wish the door swung out just a touch wider. The joystick (JSM) takes a bit to get used to with all the functions crammed into it, but once you figure it out, one-handed operation works well. Maintenance is solid - everything’s right there, easy to grab. Parts show up quick if you need em, never had to wait more than 2 days. Engine’s reliable, not too thirsty. Could use a bit more power up hills with a load, though not a big gripe. All in, does what I need, just with a couple quirks.

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.
