• Kubota diesel reliability: Kubota’s diesel power is known for long service life, easy starting, and dependable torque, ideal for repetitive load handling in varied conditions.
• Fuel-efficient operation: Diesel economy keeps operating costs predictable and helps extend time between refueling stops on busy delivery days.
• Manitou build quality: The TMT55XT platform is engineered for the demands of daily transport, loading, and unloading, helping deliver consistent performance and durability.

• Cost-effective alternative: Buying used at $32,950 allows you to access a premium platform at a fraction of new-equipment pricing.

Applications

• Building materials and lumber deliveries to residential and commercial jobsites where ground conditions and access vary day to day.

• Industrial supply and MRO shipments to facilities without dock access or internal forklifts.
• Agricultural and landscape supply deliveries such as sod, mulch, seed, and fencing where ground-level handling is essential.

Ownership Value

This 2016 TMT55XT represents a strong ownership value proposition for carriers, materials suppliers, and contractors who rely on dependable delivery capabilities to win and retain business. Buying used from a trusted source like NLEQ means you capture the remaining service life of a proven machine without absorbing first-owner depreciation. The Kubota diesel powerplant further supports long-term value through parts availability, widespread service familiarity, and a reputation for rugged uptime.
