MANITOU presenteert, als nationale première, zijn nieuwe unieke gepatenteerde stuursysteem: de Manitou Steering Ministick.
De klantuitdaging
In intensieve laadtoepassingen maakt een operator tussen de 3000 en 5000 stuurwielomwentelingen per dag, wat vermoeidheid en zelfs letsel veroorzaakt.
55% van de MSK-aandoeningen (musculoskeletale aandoeningen) bij landbouwmachine-operators zijn gekoppeld aan repetitieve bewegingen van de schouder, elleboog en/of pols.
De Manitou-oplossing
De Manitou Steering Ministick (MSM), gepatenteerd door Manitou, is het eerste intelligente ministick* stuursysteem op een telescopische heftruck met vierwielbesturing.
Je kunt nu een complete verandering van richting maken zonder het stuur te gebruiken, maar alleen met je duim.
*Niet goedgekeurd voor weggebruik.

Briefly formulate what is new. If your innovation is selected for inclusion in the innovation route, your text will be used as the basis for the texts in the communication to the visitors, press, etc... (max. textarea: 1000 characters)
The Manitou Steering Ministick is a unique innovation that replaces the traditional steering wheel with an intelligent ministick system, allowing the operator to steer the telehandler with their thumb. This reduces operator fatigue, increases productivity by 15% during loading applications, and improves comfort by minimizing repetitive arm movements. This system is also equipped with operator hand detection and limits the machine's speed to ensure safety.
Added value for the user (in commercial terms, user-friendliness ...)
