Manitou M30-2, M30-4, MC 30, M26-2, M26-4 2011 Parts Catalog

Let me tell you something about hunting down parts for a Manitou telehandler. You pull a worn brake line off a M30-2, and the old number’s rusted away. You flip through some third-party parts list that claims to cover it, and what do you get? A vague drawing and a part number that doesn’t cross to anything. Then you waste a day ordering the wrong piece and the machine sits. I’ve seen it a hundred times. That’s why you need the real thing: the 2011 Manitou M30-2, M30-4, MC 30, M26-2, M26-4 Parts Catalog from the factory. 1173 pages of exploded diagrams, metric dimensions, and part numbers that match what Manitou bolted on at the plant. No guesswork.

What This Parts Catalog Covers

This catalog spans five models: M30-2, M30-4, MC 30, M26-2, M26-4, all Series 3-E2. The TOC lists sections for brake circuits, handbrake assemblies, hydraulic hose connection kits, and repair kits. Page 2 shows the brake circuit diagram with tube diameters in millimeters (8 mm, 6 mm, etc.). You get the exact kit numbers: 6 BA 122 for the handbrake repair kit, 6 BA 240 and 6 BA 241 for hose and connection kits. If you’re rebuilding a brake system, you need those numbers to order the correct seals and fittings. The catalog also covers frames, powertrain, steering, and electrical – all with the same exploded-view detail.

Why OEM Parts Catalog Over Aftermarket

I have a rule: never trust aftermarket parts documentation for anything with hydraulic pressure. Aftermarket catalogs often redraw diagrams from memory, swap part numbers, or omit supersessions. This catalog is a direct scan of the official 2011 release from Manitou, printed in France. The part numbers shown here are the ones used when the machine left the factory. If you’re ordering a replacement tube for the brake circuit, you need the correct length and flare – the catalog gives you the dimensions (e.g., 1.5 mm wall thickness for a 6 mm tube) so you can verify fitment before you buy. Spend the time to match the part here, and you won’t be digging through wrong boxes later.

1173 Pages of Exploded Diagrams

That’s not a typo – 1173 pages. Every major assembly is broken down into numbered callouts. The brake circuit alone has 90+ callouts per illustration, including washers, O-rings, and hose clamps. The catalog uses a multi-language format (French, German, Spanish, English, Italian) so the part numbers are cross-referenced. You can take the English column, find the part number, and order it anywhere. For the home garage mechanic, this means you can disassemble a brake actuator, identify every small seal, and order the exact repair kit – not a generic bag of assorted O-rings that may or may not fit. For the pro, it saves billable hours because you pull the number, hand it to the parts counter, and move on.

Applying the Brake Circuit Diagram

Let’s use the sample from page 2. The diagram shows two variants: one for tube and connection (hose) and one for the complete brake circuit. Each includes the repair kit callouts. You’ll see dimensions like “8 mm” for the tube outer diameter and “1.5 mm” wall. If you’re replacing a damaged steel line on a M30-4, you measure the old line, confirm it matches the catalog spec, then order the factory-formed tube. The same logic applies to every hydraulic component. The catalog also flags parts that aren’t delivered with the main assembly (marked “not delivered with item 1”) – that saves you from ordering a subassembly that’s missing a critical bolt. Pay attention to those notes.

For the Home Mechanic Running a Telehandler

If you own a MC 30 or a M26-2 and maintain it yourself, this catalog is the difference between a weekend repair and a three-week headache. You don’t have a dealership parts counter down the road? You pull the diagram, get the part number, and order from any Manitou dealer or online supplier. The metric dimensions are given in millimeters (about 0.039 inches per mm) – you’ll need metric tools anyway, but the catalog helps you check if a bolt is M10 or M12 before you break out the thread gauge. I’ve seen guys force a 3/8-inch bolt into an M10 hole and strip it. Don’t be that guy. Use the catalog, measure twice, order once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog cover the M40-4 or M50-4 series?

It covers models M30-2, M30-4, MC 30, M26-2, M26-4, plus listings for M40-4, M50-4, MC 40/50/60/70 Powershift Series 3-E2. The main content is for the five models named in the title, but some exploded diagrams extend to the larger machines. Check the specific illustration notes.

Are torque specs included?

This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It gives part numbers and dimensions, not torque values. Use a separate service manual for fastener torques.
