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.

It is cross-shopped against smaller JCB Loadall models and other compact telehandlers rather than against larger 540-series machines.
