This page gathers the articulated telescopic boom lifts of Manitou, the French construction equipment maker from Ancenis, which alongside its well-known telehandlers also runs an extensive range of aerial work platforms. The number before the letters denotes the maximum working height in metres, from the 120 range to the 200 range, while AETJ marks the electrically powered articulated telescopic boom with basket jib, ATJ the diesel-powered version, TP the pure telescopic boom, and Bi-Energy models with combined electric and diesel power. MAN'GO denotes the maker's compact mast lift range for indoor and maintenance work. The machines are powered among others by Kubota engines.

The register lists here 16 versions with 9.8 to 36.5 kW, operating weights from 4,150 to 10,000 kg, basket capacities from 200 to 275 kg, lengths from 4,400 to 8,500 mm and widths from 1,200 to 2,402 mm.
Articulated telescopic boom lifts such as the Manitou range are used for maintenance, construction and installation work at height, where their articulated jibs also clear obstacles and reach hard-to-access spots. Alongside JLG, Genie and Haulotte, Manitou is one of the major suppliers in this market segment.
When buying used, the basket and boom joints should be checked for wear and play, the hydraulic cylinders for lift and telescope function for tightness, and the safety devices such as overload sensors and emergency lowering for correct operation. On the Bi-Energy models it is also worth checking the battery and charging electronics. Spare parts run through the Manitou dealer network, and for the Kubota engines also through Kubota service.
