Stacking solutions for

A new range V even more powerful !
A synchronized grab action
for optimum stability
Heavy duty
structure
Unique low tines
When gripping or
releasing bales, they
remain perfectly
motionless due to the
symmetrical opening
of the grip arms. This
promotes faster, safer
handling and a more
stable bale stack.
Built to last, MANUBAL handlers have a strong tubular chassis with
reinforced tine fi xing points and bushed at all pivot points.
More fl exibility
thanks to
fl oating position
- The tines are easier to
withdraw if the Manubal is
slightly tilted forward, this offers
better stability, particularly when
loading trailers or building high
stacks.
- When laying the bales down
they are not dragged or damaged.
- The tines fl oat independently
which is more effi cient when
collecting bales on uneven or
slopping ground.
- The tines can fl oat across the
ground, hence reducing damage
and wear.
Adjustable
tine width
Optimal stacking
solutions relative to
your storage method
Whatever your desired stack height (i.e. 4, 5 or 6 bales
high), or the confi guration of your buildings, we can
offer a bale handler that exactly meets yours needs.
The precision offered by the MANUBAL range enables
you to build stable stacks with no bale damage.
Adjustable geometry
to handle all bale types and sizes
With its adjustable grip action no
compromises have to be made with the
Manubal V range, they are perfect for
handling both round and square bales.
The adjustable geometry offers :
- a more acute closing angle for round
bales (Ø 0.90 m to Ø1.80 m),
- or a maximum opening for square
bales, with tines fully retracted to
minimize damage to the bale.

Quick fi t wrapped bale kit
- The MANUBAL V40 and W500 can be
converted into a wrapped bale handler in
seconds, without the need of any tools.
- For handling wrapped bales Ø1.10 m to
Ø1.60 m, up to 800 kg.

The width of the tines can
easily be adjusted from 0.60 m
to 1.10 m.

Two parking
positions
1- The tines can be automatically
folded back by simply fully crowding back the MANUBAL, this
offers a quick and safe transport position.
2- Without the need for any tools, the tines can quickly
be removed and conveniently stored on the chassis of the
MANUBAL.
