Recycling without throwing away, using without buying …: these behaviors govern our daily lives as citizens, customers and users, and this extends into our business activities. Beyond the construction and sale of handling equipment, Manitou Group’s mission is to support users to work in an easy, secure and productive manner. It is therefore Manitou Group’s responsibility to provide innovative products that are designed to last, but which can also be repaired and reused to reduce the impact on the planet’s resources.

A new use of products
A new use of products
through new services
Users are looking for affordable solutions that respond better to their daily needs in a society where usage takes precedence over ownership. Manitou Group is committed to providing new services that focus on the leasing, exchange and reselling of equipment. The aim is to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of machines and to ensure more efficient and responsible usage.
In practice
The “ReMAN By Manitou” range offers re-manufactured spare parts as an alternative to new parts to reduce the cost of maintenance and to give a second life to the used part. These refurbished parts have original components and offer the same reliability and warranty as new parts. This is part of the "REDUCE” program.

Ecodesign
Ecodesign
and innovation
To meet the challenges of limited natural resources, Manitou Group is working to build a more responsible value chain and designs innovative machines that are built to last, repairable and recyclable, with low environmental impact logistics systems.
In practice
Manitou has adopted an "Ecodesign and TCO" checklist of 54 questions, intended for its design and purchasing departments. It will be used for all machine development.
