Manitou MC 30-4 ST5: rough-terrain forklift with a lifting capacity of 3,000 kilograms and a lift height of 4,700 millimetres for use on unpaved ground on construction sites, farms and outdoor storage yards
Manitou is a French manufacturer of forklifts and lifting equipment headquartered in Ancenis. The MC 30-4 ST5 belongs to the company's MC range and to the group of rough-terrain forklifts, trucks fitted with coarse-tread tyres and usually four-wheel drive, built to work on unpaved ground rather than a smooth warehouse floor.

The MC 30-4 ST5 lifts a load of 3,000 kilograms to a height of 4,700 millimetres. These figures apply at the load centre set out under EU standards, which for rough-terrain forklifts is usually 500 millimetres.
On construction sites, on farms and on outdoor storage yards, rough-terrain forklifts such as the MC 30-4 ST5 take on the lifting and moving of loads where an ordinary counterbalance truck with smooth tyres would struggle for grip and ground clearance. The four-wheel drive typical of this group of machines keeps traction on loose, uneven or muddy ground.
When buying second-hand, check the coarse-tread tyres, whose tread depth and even wear reveal how the machine has been used. The mast should be checked for play in its guide rails and for smooth running of the lift cylinders, and the joints of the four-wheel-drive running gear for excessive play. Because the machine works outdoors on unpaved ground, corrosion on the frame and the condition of the seals on the axles and hydraulics deserve particular attention.
