Welcome to the 2026’s first edition of Between the Gears
As we kick off a new year, January is all about setting the tone—building momentum, strengthening partnerships, and focusing on what keeps operations moving day in and day out. From the people behind the machines to the work happening on the ground, this month we take a closer look at what’s driving progress and shaping the months ahead.
In this edition, we’ll share updates from the field, insights from our network, and highlights that reflect the energy, growth, and collaboration powering our industry here in Thailand and beyond.
Let’s get into it!

When Telehandlers Take Center Stage
Behind every large-scale production is a complex operation that rarely gets the spotlight. In this case, Manitou telehandlers and access machines became a critical part of a movie set—working together to support and hold a massive temporary structure.
Dozens of machines, positioned with precision, operated in sync to deliver stability, reach, and reliability under demanding conditions. It’s a powerful reminder of the versatility of telehandlers—not just as construction equipment, but as problem-solving tools capable of supporting creative, unconventional projects.
From industrial sites to film sets, this is what happens when planning, engineering, and the right machines come together.
Why the MRT Telehandler Does It All
The Manitou MRT Telehandler is built for projects that demand more than a single function. Combining the reach of a crane, the lifting power of a telehandler, and the flexibility of an access platform, the MRT is designed to adapt to complex jobsite needs.
Its 360° rotating upper structure allows operators to work efficiently in tight or congested spaces, reducing the need to reposition the machine and saving valuable time. With a wide range of attachments—from forks and winches to platforms and buckets—the MRT can shift seamlessly between lifting, placing, and access tasks on the same site.
This level of versatility makes the MRT an ideal solution for applications such as industrial maintenance, steel erection, infrastructure projects, precast installation…
