Boost your productivity with the Manitou JSM Joystick

Your handling operations involve repetitive movements that can cause muscle fatigue. During your work day, the handling of controls can also be the cause of significant joint fatigue. The Manitou JSM joystick control has been designed and patented to limit these inconveniences! It facilitates the handling of your loads and optimizes the performance of your telehandler.

For your comfort, the Manitou JSM joystick is mounted on a floating armrest on many MLT models and therefore follows the movements of the seat. No matter what the terrain conditions, it allows you to perform all hydraulic movements with one hand, and to control the forward and reverse motion of the telehandler with precision. This is ideal for keeping the other hand on the steering wheel, so you can steer your material handling equipment easily and efficiently.

The Manitou JSM joystick brings the main hydraulic and transmission functions within easy reach: boom, telescope, deck tilt, hydraulic attachment, forward/neutral/reverse direction and gear change (depending on the type of transmission).

A true extension of the operator's arm, it has been developed by our teams in collaboration with ergonomists, designers and telehandler users to offer numerous possibilities.. Take advantage of this equipment to optimize your handling operations and gain in productivity!

The advantages of our JSM Joystick on floating armrest

The Manitou JSM (Joystick, Switch & Move) has many advantages. It is today the most ergonomic and efficient solution on the market:

  • Optimized productivity: intuitive one-handed control with up to 6 simultaneous movements. This allows you to handle your loads in all directions with ease, while controlling the direction of travel of the machine.
  • High user comfort: the shape of the joystick is comparable to a computer mouse. You don't need to grasp the JSM, which reduces fatigue and stress on the wrist and hand.
  • Off-road efficiency: you get the best performance whatever the ground conditions, even on hard ground thanks to the floating armrest.

Manitou has developed several other innovative systems to improve the performance of your telescopic handler:  HighView Camera to see directly into the trailer, Intelligent Hydraulics to increase your productivity with automatic simultaneous hydraulic movements, Regenerative Hydraulics to increase your hydraulic movement speed while reducing your fuel consumption...
