MANITOU ITALIA S.R.L.

MANITOU ITALIA S.R.L. shows a surprising, albeit fluctuating, focus on Electric Vehicle Propulsion, representing 10.3% of its portfolio, with a significant 200.0% year-over-year growth in 2024, despite a subsequent decline. The company's patent strategy appears to be shifting away from several automotive categories like Vehicle Steering & Bodies and Vehicle Powertrain Arrangement, both experiencing 100.0% year-over-year declines in 2024 and 2025 respectively, indicating a re-evaluation of its core automotive R&D.

Rotary telehandler with multiple ascent and descent paths

Filed:2021-08-30Pub:2024-12-24
Applicant:MANITOU ITALIA S.R.L.

Described is a rotary telehandler ( 1 ) comprising a carriage ( 10 ) movable on wheels, which mounts a tower ( 11 ), which in turn mounts a drivers cab ( 12 ) and an operating arm. The telehandler ( 1 ) is equipped with the following free paths of ascent and descent: a first path, defined by a first position of the tower ( 11 ), wherein it has an axis parallel to that of the carriage ( 10 ) and comprises a door ( 15 ) of the cab ( 12 ), a handle ( 17 ) on which an operator can grasp and a ladder ( 101, 104 ) made on a side wall of the carriage ( 10 ); a second path, defined by an angled position of the tower ( 11 ), wherein it is oblique or transversal to the axis of the carriage ( 10 ), with a front of the cab ( 12 ) facing towards the inside of the carriage ( 10 ), the second path comprising the door ( 15 ), a first handle ( 16 ) mounted at a first side of the door ( 15 ), a treadable surface ( 105, 106 ) of the carriage ( 10 ) and a further ladder ( 102, 103 ) made in a side of the carriage ( 10 ); and a third path, defined by a further angled position of the tower ( 11 ), wherein it is oblique or transversal to the axis of the carriage ( 10 ), with the front of the cab ( 12 ) facing towards the outside of the carriage ( 10 ), the third path comprising the door ( 15 ), a second handle ( 17 ) mounted at a second side of the door ( 15 ), a treadable surface ( 103, 102 ) of the carriage ( 10 ) and a ladder ( 104, 103 ) made in a further side of the carriage ( 10 ). The first, second and third paths are free of obstacles for the free passage of an operator.
