Schäffer 3345, 3350, 3360 2008 Parts Catalog

A parts catalog that actually shows you the part numbers and exploded diagrams – not a photocopy of a photocopy. If you work on Schäffer loaders from this generation, you need the Schäffer 3345, 3350, 3360 2008 Parts Catalog on your bench, not a third-party knockoff that swaps fastener grades and omits revisions. I have seen rebuilt cylinders fail because a tech used an aftermarket seal kit that skipped the backup ring. This factory document would have prevented that.

127 Pages of Factory Exploded Views

Every major assembly on these loaders is broken down into its individual pieces. The table of contents lists 26 chapters covering everything from steering cylinders to adhesive labels. Need the exact part number for a lift cylinder seal? Go to chapter E2 – Hubzylinder / Lift cylinder. The diagram shows each component, and the accompanying list gives the OEM part number, quantity, and description. That kills the guesswork when ordering.

Same logic applies to the entire machine. Look up the brake system under chapter E30, front axle in E27, exhaust system in E24. Each chapter has its own drawing and parts breakdown. No cross-referencing between three different sources. One book, one truth.

Steering Cylinder (E1) and Hydraulic Sections – Real-World Use

If you have a leak on a Schäffer steer cylinder, the manual shows you the Lenkzylinder assembly – the cylinder barrel, piston rod, seals, and wiper. You can see if o‑ring grooves match your machine’s serial number range. The 2008 edition includes the revision level for each part. Ordering a tie-rod end? Chapter E7 – Lenkhydraulik / Steering hydraulics lists tie-rod part numbers alongside the steering gear components. This is the data you need when a customer is waiting and the parts counter asks for the production code.

What Torque Values Are Listed?

Parts catalogs don’t list torque specs – that’s what a service manual is for. But this catalog gives you the OEM part numbers for every fastener, seal, and bearing. I pair it with Schäffer D905-E2B-EU-XL1 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Spare Parts List for the larger loaders, and the Schäffer 3026 3033(S) Parts Catalog 2005 – AutoRepairManuals for earlier models. The 2008 catalog fills the gap for the 3345, 3350, and 3360 – three models that share many drivetrain and hydraulic components. Having all three on your tablet saves trips to the junkyard.

Engine and Axle Coverage

Chapter E22 covers engine mounting and clutch parts. Chapter E23 is the fuel system – injection pump, lines, filters. Chapter E24 the exhaust, E25 the air cleaner, E26 the water and oil radiator. That’s the whole powertrain in one catalog. For the chassis, you get front axle (E27), rear axle (E28), and the combined axles/cardan shaft/tyre section (E29). Need the part number for a front axle seal? Chapter E27 has it. The Parts Catalog format means you can identify exactly which bearing or seal fits without pulling the axle first.

3 Reasons to Choose OEM Documentation Over Reprints

First, aftermarket copies often shrink or distort the exploded views – you lose the reference circles and callout lines. This original 2008 factory PDF keeps every line crisp. Second, reprint houses sometimes combine multiple revisions into one file, mixing up part numbers. Third, OEM catalogs include optional equipment chapters – see S8.1 (pressure-free return, front), S16.1 (FOPS protection frame), S18.1–S18.5 (various tool holder and hydraulic locking options). You might have a loader with a hydraulic quick coupler that matches S18.4; the factory catalog lists those parts. A generic third-party catalog will skip those options entirely. Schäffer 4042, 4048 2006 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Spare Parts List covers a different chassis, but the same logic applies: buy factory, not imitation.

For broader context on why factory documentation matters, check the Automotive Industry Overview – the standardization of parts numbering across OEMs is what keeps field repairs predictable. The same principle applies to construction equipment.

Does This Catalog Cover Optional Equipment?

Yes – the second half of the book is dedicated to “Sonderaustattung / Optional equipment.” Seven chapters (S8.1 through S18.5) list parts for things like hydraulic tool locking, FOPS roofs, and special tool holders. If your Schäffer has an EU-WS tool holder, turn to S18.1. If it has a double-acting hydraulic lock, S18.4. That’s often the difference between a one-hour part order and a full afternoon of head-scratching.

FAQ – Four Common Questions

Does this catalog include engine parts for the 3345?

Yes. Chapters E22 through E26 cover engine mounting, clutch, fuel, exhaust, air cleaner, and cooling system components.

How do I find the part number for a steering cylinder seal kit?

Open chapter E1 – Lenkzylinder. The exploded view shows every seal, wiper, and O-ring. Match the diagram to your cylinder, then order by the listed OEM number.

Will this work for a 2005 Schäffer 3350?

This catalog is dated 12/2008 and covers 3345, 3350, and 3360 models. For earlier production years, you may need the specific revision. Check the serial number range printed inside your loader – if it falls within the range referenced in the catalog, you’re good.

Why won’t a reprint work the same way?

Reprints often omit the revision history and shrink drawings to fit cheaper paper. The factory PDF is scanned at full resolution with every reference number legible. When you are working on a loader that costs $150,000 new, you don’t want to gamble on a part number from a blurred copy.

If you maintain or repair these Schäffer loaders, having the factory parts breakdown in your hand makes ordering accurate and assembly straightforward. Automotive Industry Overview references the importance of standardization, but nothing beats the original document. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your workbench – you will use it on every job that touches a cylinder, an axle, or a hydraulic line.
