I've been around a lot of telehandlers over the years, and I got some early hours on this new Manitou MT 625 electric. First thing, it's definitely quieter than the old diesel rigs, which is cool when working indoors or in city areas. The electric thing means no fumes, which is also a win. It lifts up to a decent height (almost 6 meters) and still gets around rough ground, but I’m not blown away by the battery life. Four hours on a single charge feels a bit light, especially during long days-I've gotta keep an eye on the battery more than I’d like. Costs are better though, maintenance seems simpler and it’s cheaper to run. Visibility from the cab is pretty solid and all the safety alerts and gadgets make life easier.

I just wrapped up a three-month stint with the Manitou MT 1440 on site. Climbing in and out is easy, just two steps, even with all my gear on. The suspension seat and air con are way better than the old model, honestly made long days a bit less rough. I hate fiddling with windows, the electric ones are a plus. 4WD works as expected, got me through soft spots without needing a push. Visibility is solid, mirrors pretty much wipe out most blind spots. Not crazy about the joystick, feels too light sometimes and a bit laggy for fine adjustments. Reliability was good, never had an actual breakdown, but wish the cab was a little less plasticky inside.

Been in construction a while and honestly, wasn't sure about this whole electric thing but the MT625e is pretty capable. Small size fits in over-tight spots and doesn’t wreck the ground. Controls are comfy, I like the joystick a lot. Not having to do so much maintenance is a plus, especially when parts are getting expensive. You do notice the difference in noise-sometimes feels weird not hearing the engine. Charging is the main hiccup. Extended battery is better if you can get it, but I just deal with it. Safety features are decent, haven’t seen too many issues. It’s new tech, so time will tell on reliability. For now, works fine.

Recently used the Manitou MLT 735 for a project, and here are my thoughts. The hydraulic pickup hitch simplifies attaching equipment, a big advantage during busy days. I found the cab pretty comfortable; the air-suspended driver's seat is a relief during long hours. Rear halogen work lights provided sufficient illumination. Minor wear marks and faded paint give it a used look but nothing structurally concerning. The 40K power shift gearbox operates smoothly and adds efficiency. It's solid, although better upkeep could elevate its appeal.

I've been using the MT 625e recently, and I appreciate its electric design-no emissions and quiet operation make it great for urban or indoor tasks. The lift capacity of 2.5 tons is workable, though a slightly longer battery life would help on extended jobs.

I've used the Manitou MT 1440 extensively on-site for a week. Notably, the stabilizer legs do a great job ensuring steady operations, even on uneven terrain. The 360-degree cab visibility makes maneuvering safer and more efficient in crowded settings. While the air-conditioned cab was a welcome relief, the seating comfort could see slight improvement for longer shifts. Overall, it does the job effectively.

I've been using the Manitou MT 625 for two years. We bought it for pallet work at the clothing warehouse. It works actively enough and even with a large load at the warehouse, it helps to move goods to the required location. The overall load capacity is 2.5 tons. So far, we haven't had to replace anything critical, just regular maintenance materials. The reliable construction and high level of comfort make the Manitou MT 625 an indispensable helper at the warehouse.

I have a 2018 JCB 535-140 that I have been using for about 2 years now. Overall, the machine works steadily, but during this time I had to replace a number of parts. For example, I replaced the clutch after 1.5 years of use, as well as the pressure sensor. I also updated the oil and filters in the engine and hydraulic system according to the scheduled maintenance. The loader's technical specifications are in line with the stated ones, the machine is able to handle most of the tasks given.

I am the owner of a 2019 JCB 535-125 machine for 2 years now and during this time I have found it to be one of the best telescopic handlers on the market. Despite intensive use, practically all major components and assemblies are in perfect condition. The only part that had to be replaced was the hydraulic coupling after 1.5 years of operation. All other elements, including the transmission and engine, work like clockwork.

I purchased the JCB 535-95 Agri in 2018 and am satisfied with this purchase. Over 4 seasons of intensive use, I only had to replace the brake pads - everything else is in excellent condition. The reliable engine, transmission, and hydraulics work flawlessly. It starts easily even in freezing temperatures, and its maneuverability allows it to handle any task. The JCB 535-95 Agri justifies every penny invested, I recommend it to anyone looking for a quality and durable telescopic handler.
