According to Webmaster Yoann Grange,
the new website is based
on a set of innovative technologies
that make it one of the most advanced
websites in the handling materials
manufacturing sector.
“The content has been entirely updated
and the interface redesigned,” Yoann said.
Manitou has a wide range of products on
offer in the construction, agriculture and
industrial sectors in over 140 countries
worldwide. Engine norms, adaptations for
countries or professions and options are
all elements that make running a website
more complex.
“Manitou has uncomplicated its website
by offering clients a clear product
catalogue adapted to their geographic
zone and to their profession. Users have
access to a multi-criteria search engine
to build their project and specify which

machine is best adapted to their needs.
Each machine page includes a set of
elements to document the search: a
brochure, photos, videos, etc.
“Once the machine has been targeted,
the user can contact a Manitou
representative (dealership, subsidiary or
head office).
“The website also includes new features
that let users view the machine: virtual
cab visits, 3D viewing, displays of
machine/accessory compatibility, PDF
technical file generator. The content has
been enriched with pages dedicated to
news, events, history, etc.
“Technically speaking, the website is
responsive and adaptive: the interface
conforms to the size of the user’s screen
and bandwidth speed used to surf the
website. The technology used on the
website also ensures its availability to a
larger number of simultaneous users. The
audio, video and photo material is hosted
on platforms, which means website
visitors can share more files that help
users gather information.
“This new website, accessible in 10
languages (English, French, Spanish,
German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch,
Polish, Russian and Chinese), has already
generated requests at a greater daily
volume compared to the former site.
“We are planning to make more changes
like the 'solutions' search, for example a
machine with an accessory and service,
standard and optional equipment for
different material categories, displaying
tables of masts compatible for the masted
trucks as well as the ability to display the
load chart between a machine and an
accessory,” Yoann said.
