Austrian based international crane and access rental company Prangl has ordered 115 new Manitou telehandlers.

Prangl already has a number of Manitou telehandlers in its fleet and has decided to standardise on the brand as it expands its small fleet. The order covers a broad cross section of models from Manitou’s range including its 360 degree models.

Chief executive Christian Prangl said: "The overall concept of Manitou machines has helped us make our decision, as has selection of the attachments the company offers. Manitou machines are perfectly tailored to the rental market, being ruggedly built and easy to use. That's exactly what we need as well as them meeting all international regulations.”
