Manitou Comfort Steering System
The Comfort Steering System (CSS), patented by Manitou, is the first intelligent adaptive steering system on a four-wheel steering telehandler.
You can now make a complete change of direction in only 1 steering wheel turn instead of 4.
Customer challenge
In intensive loading applications, an operator performs more than 3000 steering wheel revolutions per day. It generates fatigue and even injuries.
55% of Ag operator MSDs (Musculoskeletal disorders) are related to repetitive movements of shoulder, elbow or wrist.
- More performance: 12% more productivity on loading applications.
- More comfort: 40% less steering wheel turns for reduced operator fatigue.
- More efficiency: better machine maneuverability.
- More safety: better machine stability by adapting the steering assistance to machine speed and boom angle.
