“The addition of the ATJ 60 to the Manitou product family allows operators to address the majority of applications required on today’s jobsite,” said Mike Sover, North America product marketing manager for MEWPs, Manitou Group. “This model is the highest reaching articulated platform we offer in North America and it’s designed to maneuver on the toughest jobsites. It is built for rough terrain applications with 17 inches of ground clearance, four-wheel drive and three steering modes.”

The Manitou ATJ 60 is a smooth operating and precise machine.
