The mix of Manitou articulated boom platforms include the Manitou 160ATJ and Manitou 160ATJ+ models, both of which have a working height of 16 metres. The latter has a larger basket of 2.4m x 0.9m and increased basket capacity of 400kg, including 3 people. A larger storage area for tools and equipment is also available. Completing the Manitou line up for GTAccess are the 18m working height Manitou 180ATJ and 20m Manitou 200ATJ. The all-terrain capability of the Manitou ATJ Access Platforms is an important factor to the popularity of the machines on site. With three steering modes, hydrostatic transmission, 4 wheel drive, heavy duty axles and unrivalled underbelly protection the ATJ platforms are ideally suited to conquering all ground types and operating on gradients up to 40% with ease. GTAccess is one of the largest independently owned access companies in the UK, offering hire, sales, service and operator training with a fleet size of over 1,000 machines. Depots are strategically located across the Midlands in Bromsgrove, Gloucester, Stoke on Trent, Shrewsbury and Hereford.
