TMT 55FL-4W Truck Mounted Forklift

The Manitransit Truck Mounted Forklift from Manitou was designed for portable rough terrain material handling performance. The newly redesigned TMT 55 4-Way models features a powerful Tier III engine, a taller cab for improved visibility and a longer wheelbase for enhanced stability without adding to the rear overhang when mounted.

The powerful, high-torque, 49 hp (37 kW) Kubota Tier III certified diesel engine, delivers the low-end torque needed to handle loads in rough-terrain conditions.
The TMT 55 4-Way model offers unique 4-way steering capability. The wheels hydraulically pivot 90 degrees allowing for side-to-side movement. This enables operators to unload long loads in confined areas without additional equipment or attachments. The revolutionary telescopic boom design enables the operator to reach into buildings, over trucks and onto flatbed trailers. The long boom option reaches up to 58 inches (1473 mm) in front of the front wheel for one-side reach capability when loading flatbed trailers.
The compact design on the TMT Series models is ideal for a truck-mounted forklift. An overhang of only 55 inches (1397 mm) when mounted and a low overall weight means that the unit will not add excessively to the hauler’s payload or hinder the driver’s maneuverability while transporting the unit.
Built on a one-piece unitized frame, the TMT Series truck mounted forklifts are designed for rough-terrain use. The rear pivot on the redesigned machine was moved farther back creating a larger triangle for enhanced stability. Hoses and moving parts are protected and the engine components are easily accessible under the large engine hood.
Operators will experience unmatched comfort and visibility in the newly-designed ROPS/FOPS certified operator’s compartment. Without a traditional mast to block the operator’s sightlines, the TMT’s operator is allowed a full 360 degrees of visibility. The user friendly boom control joystick has integrated reversing shift functionality which allows the operator to keep one hand on the steering wheel and one on the joystick at all times.
