Carer B-Series serving Maisonneuve: electric efficiency in steel logistics in France
Innovation, sustainability, and comfort: Maisonneuve continues its decarbonization strategy in the French steel industry, once again choosing Carer—in partnership with IMH Europe—to renew its fleet of electric forklifts with the new Carer B60H: eco-friendly, quiet, and powerful.
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.
This new supply is part of Maisonneuve’s ongoing commitment to technological innovation and reflects their trust in Carer’s quality and in the technical expertise of IMH Europe, a key partner for the French market. The adoption of the new B 60 H forklifts has further enhanced workplace well-being, delivering tangible benefits in terms of lower emissions, reduced noise levels on the shop floor, and improved operational safety.
If your company is also moving toward more sustainable logistics, the Carer team, together with its network of partners such as IMH Europe is available to provide customized solutions and qualified consulting for any material handling requirement. Info@carerforklift.com
