The Manitou 170AETJL is an electrically driven articulated telescopic boom lift from the range of the French construction machinery manufacturer. The model belongs to the Boom Lift series and carries the designation AETJ, which indicates the combination of electric drive and articulated telescopic mechanics with a jib arm. The number 170 in the name defines the machine's maximum working height. With an overall length of 6,840 mm and a width of 1,750 mm, the unit falls within the typical dimensions for this design. A ground clearance of 140.2 mm allows it to traverse small obstacles on paved surfaces, while the compact design permits use in various environments.
The drive is powered by two batteries with a capacity of 300 Ah at a system voltage of 48 V. This configuration ensures emission-free operation, which is particularly relevant in enclosed spaces or sensitive areas. The platform offers an area of 1,200.1 mm in length and 960.1 mm in width and supports a maximum load of 200 kg. The empty weight of 6,910 kg influences stability and transport requirements. A maximum speed of 5.1 km/h is designed for safe use on construction sites, while a turning radius of 5,600 mm determines maneuverability in confined spaces.
Within the series, the model ranks 7th out of 16 recorded variants in terms of empty weight. The next smaller model is the 150AETJC3D at 6,700 kg, while the next larger model, the AETJ 43, has a weight of 7,370 kg. The weight of the 170AETJL is practically identical to that of the AETJ 49 model. The entire series spans a weight range from 4,150 to 10,000 kg. This classification illustrates its positioning in the mid-range segment of the manufacturer's electric articulated telescopic boom lifts.
Manitou Boom Lift – articulated telescopic boom lifts from the French maker Manitou of Ancenis, from the 120AETJC to the 200ATJ, 9.8 to 36.5 kW, operating weights from 4,150 to 10,000 kg, Kubota engines
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.
