2005 Manitou MRT1740 SLT Telehandler - 526420 Hours - Enclosed Cabin - Forks
Overview
The Manitou MRT1740 SLT is a compact, versatile telehandler built for demanding material handling and placement tasks across construction, agriculture, and industrial sites. This 2005 model represents a proven workhorse design, engineered for reliability in challenging conditions. The MRT1740 SLT class delivers excellent reach and lift capacity in a manoeuvrable package, making it ideal for confined-space operations where traditional cranes cannot access. With its Perkins turbocharged diesel engine and hydraulic boom system, this machine has been configured for fork work, offering flexibility across multiple applications.
This particular example presents as a well-used unit with considerable operational history. The orange paint shows weathering consistent with 5264.20 hours of field service, with visible surface oxidation on the boom and mast structure. The enclosed cabin provides operator protection, though interior trim shows age-appropriate wear. Hydraulic hoses display typical service-life patina, and the boom structure carries operational marks and minor dents from years of active use. The fork attachment shows wear on the tines consistent with regular material handling work. Structurally, the machine remains sound and operational, with no evidence of major collision damage or frame compromise. This is an honest, hard-working machine offered as-is, suitable for buyers seeking proven functionality over cosmetic presentation.
Telehandlers in this class typically command strong secondary market interest due to their versatility and compact footprint. Comparable 2005-2007 Manitou and JCB models with similar hours have recently sold in the AUD 18,000 to 28,000 range depending on condition and attachment configuration. This unit's lower acquisition cost reflects its high-hour status and cosmetic wear, presenting genuine value for operators prioritising capability and proven reliability over showroom condition.
