The AETJ 43 is an electrically driven articulated telescopic boom lift from the product range of Manitou, a French manufacturer of construction machinery. This model belongs to the AETJ series, where the number 43 indicates the maximum working height in meters. The machine is designed for use indoors and on paved surfaces where emission-free drives are required. Its design as an articulated telescopic boom lift with a jib arm enables the overcoming of obstacles and access to hard-to-reach areas at various heights.
With a lifting height of 13,110 mm, the platform reaches a working height sufficient for many maintenance and assembly tasks in halls or on facades. The lifting capacity of 275 kg allows for the transport of tools and materials, while the permissible number of persons must be observed accordingly. The empty weight of 7,370 kg requires a check of the load-bearing capacity when setting up on sensitive floors. The dimensions of 4,400 mm in length and 1,250 mm in width allow for transport through standard door openings and use in confined spaces. The ground clearance of 140.2 mm determines the ability to overcome unevenness, while the turning radius of 3,960 mm defines maneuverability in enclosed spaces.
Within the range of Manitou articulated telescopic boom lifts, the AETJ 43 ranks fourth by empty weight out of sixteen models. The next smaller model is the AETJ 49 with a weight of 6,910 kg, while the next larger model is the 150TP with 7,950 kg. The weight of the AETJ 43 is practically identical to that of the 170AETJL Bi-Energy and 160ATJ models. The range of the series spans from 4,150 kg to 10,000 kg. This classification shows that the machine is positioned in the lower to middle weight range of the series, which underscores its suitability for use in buildings with limited floor load capacity.
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.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
