What's New at Shawmut Equipment

When it comes to tackling complex lifting challenges, the right equipment can make all the difference. For Roy Corp. Cranes, the Manitou MTA 1255 construction telehandler proved to be more than just another machine—it was a pivotal solution in a high-stakes scenario. With decades of experience operating a variety of lifting equipment, Jim Roy, the owner of Roy Corp Cranes highlights how the MTA 1255’s unique features transformed a potentially hazardous job into a safe and efficient operation. Here’s how this powerful telehandler rose to the occasion.
