Manitou MHT 11250 ST5
Manitou MHT 11250 hire – 25-tonne lifting capacity for professionals
In the heavy-duty segment between 20 and 30 tonnes, choosing the right machine is an operational decision with a direct impact on project schedules and operating costs. In this range, the Manitou MHT 11250 ST5 closes the gap between standard telehandlers and heavy-lift cranes: around 25 t rated capacity, a maximum lift height of 10.60 m and a maximum reach of 6.0 m – combined with four-wheel drive, three steering modes and full travel capability under full load. Luibl Rental delivers the MHT 11250 ST5 throughout Europe on its own special low-loader and hands the machine over ready for operation on your project site, with experienced technicians.
The Manitou MHT 11250 ST5: dimensions and applications
The MHT 11250 has an operating weight of approx. 32,950 kg, a wheelbase of 4.10 m and an overall width of 2.80 m. These dimensions allow it to operate in port areas, steelworks and on industrial sites where heavy-lift cranes cannot be used because of the space they need for outriggers and rigging. The MHT 11250 drives, sets down the load and is immediately available for the next lift at the next point – no re-rigging, no waiting time.
A turning radius of 5.50 m and a ground clearance of 47 cm make the MHT 11250 manoeuvrable even in confined industrial environments and on uneven terrain. For logistics managers in ports and project managers in heavy mechanical engineering, this is the basis for reliable lift planning: the machine's use does not depend on ground conditions that would rule out a crane.
Modern technology: engine and drive of the MHT 11250 ST5
The MHT 11250 ST5 is equipped with a 211 hp engine and a hydrostatic transmission. The engine features optimised combustion control that increases usable torque in the low rpm range. When moving off under full load – for example when picking up a 25-tonne load on uneven site ground – maximum torque is therefore available earlier and more controllably than with older engine generations. This reduces jerky movements during lifting and protects the hydraulic components in continuous operation.
Every MHT 11250 in the Luibl Rental fleet is serviced in accordance with Manitou specifications. Before each delivery, the machine is serviced and inspected. The original Manitou data sheet including the load chart is provided at handover.
JSM control and E-Reco: control over 25 t
For comfort and control, the MHT 11250 ST5 is equipped with an ergonomic panoramic cab, Easy Step access, JSM joystick and colour touchscreen display.
The JSM combines travel direction, boom telescope, lift function and hydraulic control in a single control element. With a lifting capacity of 25 tonnes, this is operationally relevant: the operator keeps the joystick in hand at all times, keeps an eye on the load and can coordinate simultaneous movements – lifting while moving forward to the installation position – from a single hand position. Delays in intervention and reaction caused by changing grip are eliminated.
The standard E-Reco attachment recognition system automatically identifies the fitted attachment and configures the corresponding settings and load chart. When switching between fork tines and crane hook attachment, the system adjusts the overload cut-off limits without operator intervention. Incorrect configurations caused by manual input – a safety-critical risk in the 25-tonne range – can thus be avoided.
The load moment limiter monitors the current lifting moment in real time and prevents the permissible load limit from being exceeded by automatically limiting boom speed. Together with the E-Reco system, it forms a two-stage safety system that remains active regardless of the operator's reaction.
Applications: steel construction, installation and heavy-load logistics
Heavy steel construction and bridge building: steel girders, beams and prefabricated steel assemblies weighing up to 25 t are transported to the installation position using forks or a crane hook attachment. Frame levelling compensates for lateral ground unevenness and allows precise placement within tight installation tolerances.
Ports and heavy cargo handling: in port operations, machine components, assemblies and container contents with individual weights in the 20-tonne class are handled regularly. Crab steering mode shortens manoeuvring distances between tight quay positions and allows sideways travel along the longitudinal axis of a ship.
Heavy machine installation in industry: transformers, reactor vessels and press components are positioned in adequately ventilated production halls and on industrial sites without setting up a crane. Full travel capability under load allows the machine to move between adjacent installation points without interrupting the lift.
Safety and ergonomics: the cab of the MHT 11250
The operator cab of the MHT 11250 ST5 is certified to ROPS and FOPS Level 2. The service brake is an oil-immersed multi-disc brake on the front and rear axles, the parking brake an automatic negative brake.
The panoramic cab with full glazing at the front, side, roof and rear gives the operator all-round visibility, which is crucial for the safety of ground personnel when setting down heavy loads close to the ground. Work with a man basket attachment requires these visibility conditions as a prerequisite for operation. The overall cab width is 0.95 m. This makes for a spacious cab format and reduces physical strain during long shifts in multi-shift operation.
Easy Step access makes getting in and out easier when operators change frequently between shifts – relevant in practice on sites where several drivers use the same machine on a rotating basis.
Frequently asked questions about the Manitou MHT 11250
