Buy or hire the Loadall 540-140 if...

A high-reach telehandler for construction sites and larger farms that need to place material at height rather than move pallets around a yard. Lift capacity falls sharply as the boom extends, which is the number that actually governs what it can do.

Buy or hire the MT 625 H if...

The Manitou MT 625 H is a compact telehandler sized for renovation, landscaping and smaller construction sites where a full-size 4 tonne Loadall-class machine would be oversized. Its Kubota Stage V engine and hydrostatic transmission are aimed at contractors who value fuel economy and manoeuvrability over maximum lift height. It is cross-shopped against smaller JCB Loadall models and other compact telehandlers rather than against larger 540-series machines.
