Visitors can gain firsthand insight into the versatility of telehandlers within the fields of rescue services and disaster management. A variety of attachments makes them highly adaptable and perfectly suited for a wide range of missions.

Maximum agility in emergencies: the versatile MT 730 H

In critical situations, every second and absolute precision count. This is exactly where the Manitou MT 730 H demonstrates its strengths for fire departments and rescue teams. Thanks to its extremely compact design and very small turning radius, the telehandler navigates effortlessly through narrow alleys or debris fields. However, its true strength lies in its extraordinary versatility: a wide range of quick-change attachments from buckets and fork carriages to work platforms, load hooks, or sweepers allows the machine to be reconfigured for different scenarios in no time. Whether for obstacle removal, high-angle rescue, or logistical tasks in civil protection: with a lifting height of approximately 7 meters and a capacity of 3 tons, the MT 730 H is a multi-functional tool. The machine displayed at RETTmobil is provided by the Schwäbisch Hall Fire Department. Equipped with a specialized breathing apparatus connection, LED work lights, and cameras on both the fork carriage and the rear, it is a reliable partner for diverse rescue operations.

Maximum mobility in emergencies: the ULM 412 H for flexible deployment

A decisive advantage for emergency forces is the uncomplicated logistics of the ULM 412 H (Ultra Light Manitou). Thanks to its low weight, this ultra-compact telehandler can be easily transported on a standard 3.5-ton car trailer, ensuring rapid transport to the site of operation. This allows rescue organizations to deploy quickly without the need for heavy transport equipment—ideal for operations in difficult terrain or cramped city centers. Once on-site, the ULM fully utilizes its maneuverability and off-road capability to clear obstacles or place heavy equipment precisely where every second counts.

At RETTmobil, Manitou is showcasing the machine along with its matching trailer. Manitou offers this package solution to fire departments and as an attractive all-round solution for municipalities.

Strong local network

The Manitou Germany team will be supported at the exhibition stand by its experienced sales partners: Domnick + Müller GmbH, Hald & Grunewald GmbH, and Helmut Reiter GmbH.

Visitors to RETTmobil can see for themselves the robustness, flexibility, and intuitive operation of the machines, which are specifically designed to make the daily workflows of rescue personnel more productive and comfortable.
