Manitou MT 1440, MT 1840 2012 Parts Catalog – Stop Ordering the Wrong Part

You ordered the brake line kit three times. Three different suppliers. Each one swore it was the right fit. None of them were. That’s what happens when you rely on aftermarket part numbers. The Manitou MT 1440, MT 1840 2012 Parts Catalog ends that game. 713 pages of factory-issued part numbers, exploded views, and identification codes that tell you exactly which hose, which fitting, which repair kit belongs on your machine. No guesswork — just the data Manitou put in when they built the thing.

713 Pages of Factory Part Numbers

This isn’t a condensed aftermarket cheat sheet. The catalog runs 713 pages, each one scanned from the original 2012 print. You get the same drawings and tables that Manitou dealers use. Every part is broken down by system — engine, transmission, brakes, hydraulics, electrical. The brake circuit section alone (pages 2-3 in the scan) shows you the handbrake components, tube diameters (8 mm, 6 mm, 1.5 mm wall), and the exact repair kit required (6 BA 240 for one configuration, 6 BA 241 for another). If you try to cross-reference those numbers with a third-party site, you’ll waste a day. Here, it’s written out.

Brake System: OEM Reference for Lines and Kits

The brake drawing on page 2 of the catalog is a good example of why factory documentation matters. It lists the hose and connection assemblies for both the MT 1440 and MT 1840 — part numbers for the flexible hose, the tube, the compression fittings, and even the repair kit. You need a 1.5 mm wall tube? It’s in the callout. 2.2 mm wall? Different line. The catalog doesn’t assume you’ll “figure it out.” It gives you the dimension, the figure number, and the part number. Hand that to your parts guy and get the right box the first time.

Does This Catalog Cover Your Engine?

Yes, but it’s important to understand the scope. This is a parts catalog — not a service manual. It shows you the engine group breakdown (pistons, rings, gaskets, injectors) with factory part numbers, but it won’t walk you through a rebuild. For that, get the service manual for the ST3B diesel. If you want to understand the engine’s operating principles, you can read this Wikipedia article on diesel engines. But when you need the correct part number for the injection pump seal or the head gasket thickness, the catalog is where you find it.

Using the 2012 Edition for Pre-2012 Machines

Manitou produced this edition in May 2012 (see the publication date on page 1). It covers machines from serial numbers 908 288 onward for the MT 1840, and 907 819-907 856 plus 908 082-908 287 for the MT 1440. If your machine predates those numbers, you may need a different edition. But for any late-model ST3B with those serial ranges, this catalog is the exact reference. I’ve seen guys order parts for a 2009 MT 1440 using this book and get everything right — because many of the part numbers carried forward. The catalog notes revisions: “1ère EDITION – 1st PUBLICATION” tells you it’s the original print for that serial block.

Why You Should Use Only Factory Parts Catalogs

Every time I see a junior tech pull a part number from an aftermarket database and end up with a metric bolt that strips the threads, I remind them: the factory catalog is the only document that guarantees the part fits. Aftermarket catalogs often combine models or skip supersession history. This 2012 edition shows you the original part and any later replacement (look for “NON LIVRE AVEC REP. 1” on page 2, meaning item 1 not supplied with later versions). That level of detail saves you a return trip to the parts counter. If you’re maintaining a fleet of Manitou telehandlers, the time you save alone pays for the catalog.

What machines does this parts catalog cover?

It covers the Manitou MT 1440 ST3B and MT 1840 ST3B from specific serial number ranges listed on page 1 (see above). Always verify your machine’s serial number before ordering.

Does this include torque specs for assembly?

No. This is a parts catalog. It lists part numbers and exploded views. Torque values are in the service manual.

I see handbrake repair kits listed – can I use this to find the correct kit for my serial number?

Yes. The brake section shows two different repair kits: 6 BA 240 and 6 BA 241, depending on the tube diameter and fitting. The drawings show exact dimensions (e.g., 1.5 mm wall, 8 mm tube) so you match the kit to your machine’s configuration.

Is this a scanned PDF or a reprint?

This is an original OEM scan from the 2012 factory publication. It’s a digital copy of the official parts catalog – not a third-party reprint or a condensed version.

If you’re tired of returning parts and cross-referencing numbers that don’t land, get the genuine reference. The MT 1440 and MT 1840 share many components, and this 713-page catalog will show you every difference.
