Rough terrain telescopic handler from Manitou

Feb. 1, 2012 – Manitou has introduced the new model MT 5519 telescopic
handler, a new addition to the MT series product range. The new
telescopic handlers low-profile compact frame with an overall height of
six feet, four inches and tight turning radius of 11 feet mean it can
maneuver in low buildings and confined job sites. The MT 5519 allows for
operation in buildings, under parking garages and in confined areas.
The low-profile boom reaches to a height of 19 feet, one inch and
features the same welded box-section design that is on the larger MT
Series telescopic handlers.

The MT 5519 telescopic handler was designed to meet the growing needs of
contractors, builders and rental firms for a 5,500-pound lift
capacity machine. By incorporating many of the features and benefits of
the proven MT series telescopic handlers, the new MT 5519 telescopic
handler adds a high performance, cost effective machine in this growing
market segment.

A two-speed hydrostatic transmission with inching valve and three selectable steering modes and a powerful hydraulic system are all standard on the MT 5519.

Internal wet disc service brakes are standard equipment for better
stopping capability and longer life, along with a SAHR (Spring-Applied,
Hydraulic-Release) parking brake, which is automatically applied when
the engine is shut off, or manually by pressing a rocker switch. This
design eliminates the cable stretch and adjustments associated with many
other telescopic handlers.

The view from the spaciously designed canopy is a full 360
degrees.  An enclosed cab is optional with front and top windows, a door
and a heater/defroster for use in areas where operators need protection
from the weather.  Air conditioning can also be added to complete a
climate controlled operator environment.

Two direct mechanical joystick controls for boom and fork tilt functions
are standard.  They are easy to reach and smooth to operate, optimizing
operator precision and productivity. A deluxe suspension seat is
optional. A work light package can be added to further increase the
productivity of these machines.

Engine accessibility is made simple with a large, hinged hood on the
side of the machine. The hood lifts fully out of the way, allowing
plenty of room to access maintenance points, including the battery and
oil fill.  Underneath the unit Manitou has added a bolted belly pan to
protect all engine and hydraulic components. A hinged access door
provides easy access to the engine oil drain.

The model MT 5519 is powered by a 68-horsepower, water-cooled, Yanmar
four-cylinder diesel engine.  A two-speed hydrostatic transmission with
inching valve and three selectable steering modes and a powerful
hydraulic system are all standard on the MT 5519.
Hydraulic flow up to 22 gallons per minute provides excellent hydraulic
performance. Optional auxiliary hydraulics are available to power a
variety of available attachments. Attachments include truss booms, jib
booms, buckets and multiple types of carriages and forks.  The quick carriage release allows quick attachment changes with unsurpassed ease.
The hydraulic hoses are routed inside the boom protecting them from
jobsite hazards.
