Carer B-Series serving Maisonneuve: electric efficiency in steel logistics in France
Founded in 1936 and based in Château-Gontier-sur-Mayenne, in the Pays de la Loire region, Maisonneuve is a long-established French company specializing in the trade and processing of steel.
With over 3,000 product references and a storage capacity of 50,000 tons, the company primarily serves the national construction and distribution markets, offering a wide range of beams, tubes, and sheets, as well as custom solutions designed to meet the most complex requirements..
Against this backdrop of high-value projects and demanding production schedules, Maisonneuve has chosen to invest in advanced material handling solutions – with a growing focus on environmental responsibility and employee well-being.
Carer B 60 H: a state-of-the-art solution for steel handling
In a sector where the movement of heavy materials demands power, precision and maximum reliability, Maisonneuve faced a dual challenge: replacing traditional internal combustion forklifts with high-performance electric alternatives, while ensuring high standards of comfort and ergonomics for operators.
The turning point came as early as 2021, with the purchase of a Carer F 60 H: a 6-ton model recognized for its maneuverability and operator comfort. Building on this positive experience, Maisonneuve, with the support of IMH Europe, selected the Carer B 60 H: the latest evolution in the Carer range, designed to deliver even higher levels of comfort, ergonomics and performance.
The new B Series represents the highest expression of technological innovation developed by Carer’s engineering team. The Carer B 60 H is a 6-ton electric forklift, quiet, powerful, and eco-friendly, ideal for replacing internal combustion trucks and reducing environmental impact, even in demanding or humid environments. This is made possible by high-efficiency AC motors, regenerative braking, a low-profile seat for increased stability, and a mast designed for maximum visibility. The B 60 H can also be customized to meet a wide range of application needs and specific logistics requirements.
