Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479 Parts Catalog

I’ve seen too many guys order the wrong lift cylinder seal kit because they guessed at the part number. Don’t be that guy. This Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479 Parts Catalog is the factory-issued document for identifying and ordering mast components. It’s 48 pages of exploded diagrams, item numbers, and OEM part numbers. No aftermarket reprint. No guessing. If you’re working on a Manitou mast, this is the only reference you should trust.

48 Pages of Factory Diagrams

A parts catalog is worthless if the drawings are blurry or the part numbers are wrong. This one isn’t. Every page is a clean, scan-quality factory illustration with numbered items and a matching parts list. The catalog covers mast models K5705, K5797, K5755, and K1479. You get views of the Rail System Assembly (page 2), the Lift Cylinder Assembly (page 4), and both the Rail and Carriage chain assemblies (pages 6 and 8). Want to see the Hydraulic System Assembly? It’s on page 10. The layout is straightforward: find the item on the drawing, look up the number in the table, and get the correct part number. No cross-referencing to third-party databases.

Lift Cylinder Assembly Coverage

The Lift Cylinder Assembly section on page 4 is the one you’ll probably flip to first. Manitou uses specific seal kits and rod sizes depending on the mast model and serial number. The catalog gives you the break-out view of every Cylinder component — the barrel, piston, rod, gland, seals, and fasteners. Each item is listed with its quantity and the exact part number. You don’t need to measure anything if you have the mast serial number. Just match the illustration to your cylinder and order the correct seal kit. This alone saves you a return trip to the dealer.

What About the Carriage and Rotator Assemblies?

Carriages and rotators vary widely across models. This catalog dedicates six different assemblies to carriages alone: Model K4890 & K4891 on page 12, Model K4892 on page 13, and rotator carriages for Models K4870, K4872, K4882, K4883, and K4888 starting on page 14. Each rotator assembly has its own cylinder breakdown. The Rotator Cylinder Assemblies for K4870 & K4872 are on page 16; early and current versions for K4882 & K4883 appear on pages 22 and 24. If your machine has a hose reel, you’ll find sections for both mast serial number ranges: SN 48997 and below (pages 30-34) and SN 48998 and above (pages 36-42). Right-hand and left-hand reel kits are separated, so you order the correct orientation. This level of detail is why you don’t want a generic aftermarket parts list.

Source Authenticity: OEM vs Aftermarket

Aftermarket parts catalogs often group multiple brands together and leave out serial number breaks. This one is an original Manitou publication — Catalog R382, printed with the Manitou North America part number system. The general information page (page 2) tells you exactly where to find the mast model and serial number: stamped on the right side of the outer rail at or above eye level. It also reminds you to record modifications after manufacture. That’s the kind of instruction you only get from the factory. I’ve used aftermarket catalogs that were missing half the item numbers. This one doesn’t have that problem.

Decals, Parts Index, and Mast Service Manual Appendix

The catalog doesn’t stop at hardware. It includes a Decals Supplement and a Parts Index Supplement near the end. If you’re replacing worn-out warning labels or need to locate a part that isn’t in the main illustrations, those supplements are where you look. There’s also a Mast Operator/Service Manual Appendix that cross-references to the full service manual. If you need the torque specs or hydraulic pressure settings for the mast, you’ll want to grab the service manual separately. For parts ordering, though, this catalog is all you need.

You might also want to check out the Manitou Mast Components Parts Catalog for a broader view of mast parts. Or, if you need more detail on the K5705 series specifically, see the Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479 Parts Catalog – 20-Page OEM Reference. For other Manitou models, the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages covers a different series.

If you’re working on the diesel engine itself, you might want to brush up on fundamentals. Read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for background. But when it comes to ordering mast parts, stick with the factory source.

Don’t tie up a machine waiting for the wrong seal. Access the Factory Manual now and get the right parts the first time.

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications for cylinder assembly?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It provides part numbers and exploded views but does not list torque values or repair procedures. You’ll need the Manitou Mast Service Manual for those specs.

How do I identify which hose reel kit I need?

Check the mast serial number. The catalog splits hose reel sections by serial number: SN 48997 and below (pages 30-34) and SN 48998 and above (pages 36-42). Also note whether your machine uses a right-hand or left-hand reel kit. The drawings show the orientation.
