Manitou MLT 845-120 2011 Parts Catalog

If you are pulling apart an MLT 845-120 without the original factory part numbers, you are working blind. I have seen seasoned mechanics order the wrong steering cylinder seal because they trusted a generic aftermarket cross-reference. That mistake costs a day. This is the 2011 Manitou MLT 845-120 Parts Catalog, 244 pages of part-by-part breakdowns from the factory in Castelfranco Emilia. Every bushing, seal, bearing, and fastener is listed with the exact OEM reference. You do not guess with this book.

Page 3 kicks off the front axle section. That is where you find the carrier housing part number 562531, the plug 602293, and the breather 562470. The catalog shows you the exact revision level for the axle (type 212/470, serial 246848). Without this, you are hunting through bins. The catalog includes exploded-view diagrams for every major assembly: Braccio, Cabina (with all twenty sub-sections from the accelerator lever to the sun visor), Carpenteria (counterweight, forks, tow hook, frame), and Carrozzeria (hood, soundproof panels, fenders, engine compartment).

7 Sections That Cover the Whole Machine

This is not a skimpy parts list. The Table of Contents runs from 1°Pagina through Trasmissione. You get the full Impianto elettrico wiring harness breakdowns — battery, ACTIA central cabling, distributor cabling, engine cabling in two parts, cabling for the fan, lights, switches, fuse box. Then the hydraulic system: steering circuit, distributor, steering distributor, boom hydraulics, slide hydraulics, main hydraulics, brakes, oil cooler, lifting hydraulics, and the oil tank. Each sub-section has its own parts table with part numbers, descriptions, and quantities. If the hydraulic pump seal goes, you flip to Imp.idr.principale and find the seal kit number. No walking around the shop with a caliper.

Cabina and Carpenteria: Where Most Guys Get Lost

The Cabina section alone has 21 sub-headings. Door seal (Guarnizione portiera), pedal brake, seats, vibration dampers, sun blinds, windshield wipers (front, rear, and roof), glass, and steering wheel. If you are rebuilding the cab interior after a rollover or just swapping the door card, you need the clip and seal part numbers. The Carpenteria section covers the counterweight, forks, tow hook, and frame. The fork carriage is not something you want to guess on — wrong pin size means the carriage drops. This catalog gives you the right pin and bushing numbers.

Transmission and Axle Breakdowns

Under Trasmissione you get the full driveline: accelerator linkage, front and rear cardan shafts, transfer case angle drive, front and rear axles (each with steering bar, housing, differential, hydraulic brake, and epicyclic reduction), transmission with its own differential and control valve, air filter, fuel system, gearshift lever, muffler, engine mounts, and the engine itself. The engine section splits into monoblock, cylinder head (two listings), crankshaft, pistons, timing, fuel pump and lines, turbo, exhaust manifolds, electrical parts, starter, alternator, oil cooler, fan belt. Page 5 shows the front axle casing parts table with part numbers for the housing, plugs, breather, and ring. That is the kind of detail you get for every component.

Why OEM Beats Aftermarket Documentation

Aftermarket parts catalogs often skip supersession history or combine different model years. This is an original OEM publication dated 09/09/2011 (REF 648616), part 2/2 for the MLT 845-120 S5 E3. It includes the numerical index at the back so you can look up any part number and find which assembly it belongs to. I have used factory books for 28 years. When you have the official Manitou document, you know the part number will cross to the latest revision. Aftermarket PDFs sometimes use placeholder numbers that do not exist on the shelf. This one does not. If you want to understand how the injection pump connects to the fuel system, read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for background, then use the catalog to find the actual fuel line part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this catalog contain torque specs or repair instructions?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a service manual. It shows exploded views, part numbers, and quantities. For torque values and removal procedures, pair it with the factory service manual. Manitou MLT 845-120 2011 Operators Manual – OEM Factory Specs provides operating instructions.

Can I use this for a different MLT model, like the 840 or 960?

Do not try it. This catalog is specific to the MLT 845-120 S5 E3. The axle type, engine variant, and cab trim differ. Using it on another model will get you wrong parts. If you need another model, check K-D Manitou K5705, K5797, K5755, K1479, K1787 1991 Parts Catalog for older telehandlers, or K-D Manitou MVT 1230L MVT1230LC Parts Catalog – 264 Pages for compact versions.

For background on how telehandler transmissions work, you can also reference this Wikipedia article on diesel engines for engine basics, but the parts themselves come from this catalog. Every time I rebuild a boom or overhaul an axle, I start with the factory part numbers. Saves me one return to the dealer per job minimum. Access the Factory Manual and keep it in your tablet or print out the pages you need. You will thank yourself when the seals arrive and they actually fit.
