Manitou MHT 780 2011 Parts Catalog – 276-Page OEM Breakdown

Manitou MHT 780 2011 Parts Catalog – if you’ve ever ordered a part for one of these telehandlers and ended up with the wrong seal, bracket, or hose because some third-party listing guessed the number, you know the pain. I’ve seen guys spend an afternoon chasing a hydraulic leak only to find out the replacement seal kit they bought didn’t match the compensator block. That’s time you don’t get back, and on a job site that costs real money. This factory catalog kills that guesswork. It’s the exact same reference the Manitou dealer uses – 276 pages of exploded views, callouts, and numerical indexes that tie the part number to the physical component. No reprints, no scanned blurry copies – this is the original 2011 publication, straight from the manufacturer.

Braccio and Cabina Coverage – Where Most Part Errors Happen

Spend five minutes under the boom of an MHT 780 and you’ll see why the braccio sections matter. The catalog breaks it down into Alim.braccio (compensaz.), Carpenteria, Imp.brandeggio-sfilo, Imp. optional, and Imp.sollevamento. Each subsection gives you the exact part number for the compensator cylinder, the carriage weldment, the boom extension ram, and even the optional attachment brackets. Over in the cabina section, it gets granular: Cabina Cab Plus (778696) includes sub-items like Retina porta-oggetti, Martelletto, Vetro posteriore, Vetro anteriore, Vetri later. e super., Tettuccio & interruttori, Vaschetta tergi., Portiera (Infer.), Portiera (Super.), Specchio retrovisore, and Tergi. tettuccio. If you’ve ever had to order a replacement rear window glass for a cab-plus and got the wrong tint or thickness, this catalog makes that mistake disappear.

7 Systems Covered – Hydraulics, Electric, Transmission, Engine, and More

The table of contents lists seven major system groups: Braccio, Cabina, Carrozzeria, Filtri, Imp.Elettrico, Imp.Idraulico, and Trasmissione. Under Imp.Elettrico you’ll find cablaggio (wiring harness) diagrams for the cab, chassis, engine, and dashboard – all with part numbers for connectors, relays, and the fuse/relay board. Imp.Idraulico covers the main circuit, the distributore (entry, brandeggio, sfilo, optional, sollevamento elements, plus the locking block and tie-rod kit), the suction circuit, the hydraulic joystick (manipolator – body and grip), double pump, oil tank, and servo controls. Each valve stack has its own exploded view. The Trasmissione chapter includes the hydrostatic motor, drive axle assemblies (anter. 730512 and poster. 730513), the engine thermal group (monoblocco, testata, distribution, injection nozzles, alternator, starter, turbo), and all filters – including the engine oil filter cartridge, transmission oil filter, and the cyclonic pre-filter listed on page 3 of the index. Because this is a Parts Catalog, not a service manual, you get part numbers and quantities – no torque specs or assembly steps. That’s fine; for ordering, it’s all you need.

Does This Catalog Cover the Engine Block and Transmission?

Yes, in detail. The Motore termico section under Trasmissione lists the monoblocco (cylinder block), albero-bielle-pistoni (crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons), testata (cylinder head), asse e bilancieri (camshaft and rockers), distribuzione (timing), carcassa volano (flywheel housing), coppa e asta livello olio (oil pan and dipstick), radiatore olio (oil cooler), pompa lubrificazione (oil pump), tubo scarico (exhaust pipe), pompa acqua (water pump), iniezione nafta (fuel injection system with four identical sub-entries for injectors), atomizzatore (injector nozzle), filtro nafta (fuel filter), prefiltro nafta (pre-filter), bulbi-pressostati (bulbs and pressure switches), motorino avviamento (starter), alternatore (alternator), candeletta avviamento (glow plug), sollevam. motore (engine lifting bracket), cablaggio su motore (engine wiring harness), turbina (turbocharger), and more. The transmission section also covers the hydrostatic pump, axles, brakes, and the steering column (colonnella sterzo). If you need a part number for the rear axle differential or the steering cylinder seals, it’s in there.

Factory Documentation vs. Aftermarket – Why OEM Matters

I’ve lost count of how many times a third-party “parts catalog” gave me a number that crossed to a different revision. Manitou uses multiple revisions on the same machine – you have the E3 series 2, and the catalog explicitly marks the starting serial number (from machine n° 23598-759346) and the ending range. That level of granularity doesn’t exist in aftermarket compilations. The index on page 3 even lists replacement intervals (1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16) for filters and belts, grouped as kits. For example, the engine oil filter cartridge (item 5) is listed as a kit size 16. The numerical index at the back of the catalog – INDEX NUMERICO – lets you cross-reference any part number back to its location. Manitou MHT 780 2011 Parts Catalog includes this entire 276-page document, covering Part 1/2 and Part 2/2. For the companion service manual, see the MANITOU MHT 780 2011 Parts Catalog – Section: Part 2/2. If you work on other Manitou models, check the K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages.

Optional Equipment – A/C, Radio, Work Lights, and More

The Optional chapter is a monster. It lists five-digit part numbers for A/C (882777) with separate sub-sections for air ducts, condenser, evaporator, control unit, display, and electrical harness. There’s an autoradio kit (608652), a hydraulic block access kit (777157), a cab ducting kit (777160), front work lights (774170), rear work lights (774057), rear work lights with A/C (774169), work lights on the boom (777294), dual front optional hydraulic kit (777247) with its own wiring harness and hose reel, a front grill kit (774168), a battery disconnect kit (777296), a Donaldson pre-filter (777250), a Turbo II pre-filter (884301), and a vortex pre-filter (774175). Each option has its own part numbers for every component – no need to guess which relay goes with the light kit.

Does this catalog include torque specs or repair procedures?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It contains exploded diagrams, part numbers, quantities, and a numerical index. For assembly torque and repair steps, you need the workshop manual.

Can I use this to verify interchangeable parts between MHT 780 and other Manitou models?

The catalog only covers the MHT 780 E3 series 2. Some hydraulic components may be shared, but Manitou changes part numbers between model series. Cross-referencing with a dealer or parts interchange database is recommended.

How do I find a specific part number using the numerical index?

Flip to the INDEX NUMERICO section near the back. Each part number is listed with a page reference. For example, the engine belt without A/C (item 8 on page 3) leads you to the engine accessory drive diagram. It’s a direct lookup – no fishing through sections.

Is the manual available as a physical book or only digital?

This listing is for the digital PDF – original print-quality scan of the 2011 catalog, 276 pages, searchable. You can print it or use it on a tablet in the shop without worrying about oil stains.

Don’t waste another afternoon matching threads by eye or guessing which o-ring fits the boom cylinder. Access the Factory Manual – the OEM parts catalog for your Manitou MHT 780 – and get the right part the first time.
