About the machine

What is the Manitou MT 1740 SLT used for?

The MT 1740 SLT is one of the taller telehandlers in the Manitou range, designed for sites where loads have to be placed on high floor slabs, the roofs of industrial buildings or the decks of façade scaffolding. The boom raises the carriage to 16.65 m and reaches 12.35 m horizontally, so a pallet can be set down well back from the edge of an excavation or over an obstacle. The 1,200 × 125 × 50 mm forks and a carriage with a 124° rotation range handle pallets, reinforcing steel and lighter precast elements.

4×4 drive, 0.48 m of ground clearance, a 45.5° ramp angle and a 50° departure angle allow the machine to cross embankments and churned-up construction sites. Hydraulic outriggers (3.82 m spread) and ±7° frame levelling make it possible to work on uneven ground. This telehandler is 2.42 m wide and 2.60 m high (2.785 m with the warning beacon) and weighs 11,220 kg; these figures are worth checking before driving through a door or onto a floor slab.

The key factor when choosing is the load chart to EN 1459: the full 4,000 kg applies at short outreach, while at maximum outreach on outriggers the spec sheet gives a tipping load of 957 kg; this is the stability limit, and the permitted load in that position is read from the load chart. The 100 hp Perkins 1104C-44 Turbo engine and 9,700 daN of drawbar pull provide reserve power when travelling around the site. Where height is not critical, the lower MT 1440 SLT model is often sufficient.

Manitou MT 1740 SLT: frequently asked questions

Does the Manitou MT 1740 SLT reach full outreach without outriggers?

No. The third boom section extends only with the outriggers lowered, so the maximum outreach of 12.35 m requires them to be deployed. With the outriggers lowered, the machine takes up a width of 3.82 m.

How does the Manitou MT 1740 SLT cope with uneven site ground?

It has 4×4 drive, 0.48 m of ground clearance, a 45.5° ramp angle and a 50° departure angle, so it can cross embankments and ruts. Frame levelling of up to 7° in either direction lets you level the machine before lifting the load.

How much space does the Manitou MT 1740 SLT need to turn round?

The outer turning radius is 4.17 m at the wheels, 4.239 m at the machine's outline and 5.709 m at the fork tips. The space needed to turn round with the forks is 8.912 m.

What is the lifting height of the Manitou MT 1740 SLT?

The lifting height of the Manitou MT 1740 SLT is 16.65 m.

What is the capacity of the Manitou MT 1740 SLT?

The capacity of the Manitou MT 1740 SLT is 4,000 kg: this is what the telehandler lifts on its forks at short outreach. At greater outreach and height the permitted load falls; it is read from the machine's load chart.

What is the maximum outreach of the Manitou MT 1740 SLT?

The maximum outreach of the Manitou MT 1740 SLT is 12.35 m. This is how far the telehandler places a load forward, for example into a floor slab, onto scaffolding or over an excavation.

Is the Manitou MT 1740 SLT suitable for use inside a building?

The Manitou MT 1740 SLT has 4x4 drive, so it is intended for work outdoors and on rough ground. It is not suitable for enclosed spaces, because a diesel engine releases exhaust fumes where people breathe.

What are the dimensions of the Manitou MT 1740 SLT and how much does it weigh?

The Manitou MT 1740 SLT measures 5.98×2.42×2.6 m (L × W × H) and weighs 11,220 kg. These figures decide access to the work location: the width of the gate and route, the load-bearing capacity of the floor or ground, and the means of transport.

Do I need a UDT licence to operate the Manitou MT 1740 SLT?

Yes. Operating a telehandler (an industrial lift truck) independently requires a UDT qualification certificate (UDT is the Polish Office of Technical Inspection). RK Rental runs its own training courses with an official examination. You can ask about renting with an operator when you request a quote; this is possible when one of our service technicians qualified as an operator is free on that date.

Do you deliver the Manitou MT 1740 SLT to the work site?

Yes, we arrange transport and deliver machines across Poland, from our base in Brzoza near Bydgoszcz, most often around Bydgoszcz, Toruń and Poznań. The machine arrives on site after inspection, with a current UDT inspection.

Can I buy the Manitou MT 1740 SLT after renting it?

Yes, this is our “Buy the rented machine” scheme. If the Manitou MT 1740 SLT works well for you, you can buy the machine you rented, and part of the rental cost can be deducted from the purchase price. We agree the details in the quote.

How much does it cost to rent the Manitou MT 1740 SLT?

We set the rate individually. It depends on the rental period (day, week, month), the delivery location and whether the machine goes out with an operator. Describe the job and the date, and we will prepare a quote.
