You can generate a DXF (which many CAD tools can open and save as DWG) using Python and ezdxf.

import ezdxf
from ezdxf.math import Vec2
doc = ezdxf.new()
msp = doc.modelspace() manitou dwg
Resale Value and Parts Availability
Depending on your region, parts support can be spotty compared to domestic brands like Ford or International. While the machines are durable, when they do break, you might be waiting longer for specialized hydraulic components. Furthermore, the resale market is niche; you are selling to a specific buyer who needs this exact capability, not the general freight market.

The core selling point of the Manitou DWG is self-sufficiency. If you are delivering roofing materials to a construction site with no forklift, or dropping HVAC units behind a strip mall with no dock, this truck is a lifesaver. It eliminates the need to coordinate a separate forklift or rely on customer machinery.
1. Payload Penalty
This is the biggest trade-off. The lifting mechanism and the reinforced chassis required to support the boom add significant weight. A Manitou DWG often carries less payload than a comparable standard flatbed or box truck with a separate liftgate. If you are hauling heavy, dense materials, you might find yourself "cubing out" or hitting weight limits sooner than expected. Furthermore, the resale market is niche; you are
2. Maintenance Complexity
You are essentially maintaining a truck and a forklift simultaneously. Hydraulic leaks, boom chain wear, and complex electrical systems for the stabilizers mean higher maintenance costs compared to a standard delivery truck. If the boom goes down, the truck is dead in the water—you can't just manually offload.
3. Learning Curve
Driving a Manitou DWG is not the same as driving a standard box truck. It requires a driver with "equipment operator" skills. They need to understand load centers, stability on uneven ground, and hydraulic fine-touch. If you put a standard delivery driver in this seat without training, you are inviting accidents.
