Manitou MHT 780 2011 Parts Catalog

You are on the hook for a transmission rebuild on a Manitou MHT 780. The owner needs it back by Friday. You crack open the housing, find a sheared gear, and now you need to order parts. If you pull the wrong part number, you lose half a day waiting for another shipment. That is exactly why I keep factory Parts Catalog on the bench. Not a reprint. Not a third-party scan. The actual OEM document from 2011, the year this machine rolled off the line.

This catalog runs 276 pages. Every page is pulled from the original Manitou factory files. The TOC dives straight into everything from the boom assembly (Braccio) to the cab, bodywork, filters, electrical system, hydraulic system, and the full engine breakdown. You get exploded diagrams with callouts that match real part numbers. No guesswork.

Braccio and Cabina: Where the Real Money Parts Live

Start with the Braccio section. It covers the main boom, the compensation circuit, the carriage, and the reach and lift cylinders. If you have a leaking cylinder on the MHT 780, you need the seal kit number from this catalog. The Cabina chapter splits into Cab Plus (778696) with every window, door, switch panel, and wiper motor listed separately. You can order a replacement windshield without buying the whole door assembly.

276 Pages: More Than a Parts List

Page 1 shows the full machine identification plate with model MHT 780 Evolution E3 – Serie 2 and reference 648585. Page 4 spells out the rule: parts are supplied only when you communicate the machine serial number. That is critical. You cannot order from this catalog without checking your serial number against the ranges given. The index at the back (INDEX NUMERICO) lets you look up a part number directly, then cross-reference it to the exploded view.

Why Factory OEM Trumps Aftermarket Catalogs Every Time

Aftermarket catalogs often combine multiple models into one blurry PDF. Then you find a seal that looks right but is 2 mm off. Not here. This is the same document a Manitou dealer uses. Every hose, every bracket, every wiring harness in the Imp.Elettrico section – wires, fuses, relays, load cell – is keyed to a factory number. The same goes for the hydraulic distributor, which breaks down into entry, boom swing, reach, optional, lift elements, and the lock block kit.

Electrical and Hydraulic Sections: Don’t Guess the Components

The Imp.Elettrico section alone covers five separate cab wiring harnesses, four chassis harnesses, three engine harnesses, the fuse/relay board, and the dashboard. If you are chasing a short in the boom microswitch, you need the correct wire color and connector part. The hydraulic section lists the double pump, oil tank, servo controls, and the entire distributor assembly with its tie rod kit. Combined with the engine thermal unit (Motore termico) that breaks down into block, pistons, head, timing, lubrication pump, injectors, and turbo, you have every part for a full drivetrain overhaul.

4 FAQ: Common Questions About Parts Catalogs for the MHT 780

How do I know this catalog matches my machine?

Check the model number on your machine’s data plate. This catalog covers the Manitou MHT 780 Evolution E3 – Serie 2 built from 2011 onward. The reference number 648585 and the serial number range on page 4 must fall within the listed intervals.

Can I use this to identify parts for the engine?

Yes. The Motore termico chapter covers the complete Perkins or Deutz engine – I do not know which one your machine has – but the diagrams show separate subsections for the block, pistons, head, turbo, injectors, and more. Match the part number to your engine serial.

Does this include part numbers for optional equipment?

It does. The Optional chapter lists factory add-ons like A/C (882777), radio, hydraulic blocker, work lights, battery disconnect kit, and precleaners. Each subassembly has its own parts breakdown with electrical and hydraulic interfaces.

Is this the same as a service manual?

No. This is a parts catalog only. It does not contain torque specs or repair procedures. To do a proper overhaul you need the matching service manual. But for ordering parts, this catalog is the master source.
