AWARD WINNING HOUSE DEVELOPER OPTS FOR TWO NEW MANITOU TELEHANDLERS

摘要

JH Price & Sons have been building quality homes across Northern Ireland for more than three decades, using the best materials, tradesmen and equipment, which brings us to their recent investment in not one but two new Manitou telehandlers, supplied by dealers Northern Lift Trucks.The two MT1840s have been proving their worth on a prestigious development of 71 detached and semi-detached homes at Laurel Bank which is nestled in the beautiful County Down countryside at Moneyreagh; the company has won a number of NHBC 'Pride in the Job' awards for its excellence and quality.So why Manitou? Comments Henry Price: "We've used the brand before and it served us very well, so we had no hesitation in making this new investment; the Manitou MT1840s are ideal for our type of work."The machines have a reach of almost 18 metres, which is what we need on this housing development. When you are sending up materials to that height you need a safe and stable telehandler; we've had other machines on site but they didn't perform as well as we were led to believe. The Manitou telehandlers don't disappoint; they are versatile and reliable."The MT1840 is also a very comfortable machine, with a spacious cab and controls that can all be worked from the joystick. Equally at home on the flat or on rough terrain, it has a generous ground clearance and tight turning radius, so manoeuvrability never becomes an issue on busy or restricted sites.
