Still R70-16, R70-18, 70-20 2016 Parts Catalog

You have a Still R70-16, R70-18, or 70-20 compact forklift sitting in the bay with a busted counterweight bracket or a leaking hydraulic hose. You pull up the aftermarket parts website, punch in the model, and get a list of “compatible” numbers that might work. That guesswork costs you time and money when the wrong part shows up. I have been torquing head bolts for 28 years, and I will tell you flat: the only way to get the right part is to look it up in the original factory manual. This is it.

Still R70-16, R70-18, 70-20 2016 Parts Catalog – 2244 pages of OEM data straight from Still GmbH. No reprints, no aftermarket interpretations. Each page shows the part number, quantity, description, and the exact validity range (truck serial groups, week/year build cutoffs). Need a counterweight for a series 1.8 t truck built after week 40 of 2003? It is in there. This catalog covers the R70 range with chassis IDs 7074, 7075, and 7076. That is the kind of detail you need when a customer’s machine is down and the supplier is asking for the number.

Frame and Counterweight Coverage – 48 Listings

Open the FRAME section and you will see COUNTERWEIGHT broken down by lift capacity (1.6 t, 1.8 t, 2.0 t), by series, by type (244A, 244AA, 243A), and even by the coupling variant for the 1.6 t type 244A. Every listing includes the part number and a remark showing production week cutoffs. If your truck was built before week 40, 2003, you need a different counterweight than a later unit. That is the kind of revision tracking aftermarket catalogs ignore. This manual lists it all.

Does This Manual Include the Hood Assembly and Reservoir?

Yes. The HOOD section is split into three variants: series, joystick, and fingertip control. Each variant has its own HOOD CATCH listing with revision dates from week 26, 2003. You also get the RESERVOIR section with separate entries for the standard version and the joystick version. If you are swapping out a cracked hydraulic tank, you pull the number from the right sub-section. No guessing which reservoir fits a joystick truck versus a series truck.

3 Key Sections That Save a Mechanic’s Day

First: the FLOORPLATE section. It breaks down floorplates by pedal configuration — standard with signal switch, without signal switch, with heater, two-pedal control. Each variant includes a TRAVEL SENDER sub-assembly. Second: the DRIVER (seat) section. You get ISRI 2300 (imitation leather, fabric, heater, BASF option) and MSG 20 (imitation leather and fabric with fingertip control). The catalog even lists armrests from week 41, 2004 and SYMBOL PLATE for joystick. Third: the OVERHEAD GUARD section lists over a dozen variants including Macrolon, metal bonnet, drive-in racking, Eberspächer heater, and mast height 1980 mm. You can pinpoint the exact overhead guard for your truck’s configuration.

Get the Right Part Number – No Guessing

You are working on a 70-20 diesel forklift with a fingertip control hood. You need the hood catch. Flip to the HOOD (fingertip) subsection and look for the line marked “HOOD CATCH (from week 26, 2003)”. That line gives you the Still part number. Write it down, order it, and it fits. I see techs waste hours cross-referencing aftermarket databases that spit out the wrong number because they ignore the build week. Do not be that guy. Use the factory data.

This catalog is the OEM document scanned from the original STEDS (STILL Electronic Documentation System) CD. It is a faithful reproduction — not a third-party transcription. The page layouts match the original factory print, including the figure numbers, part-number columns, quantities, and remark fields. You can trust the illustration identifiers because they come from the same system the Still dealers use.

For more background on why OEM documentation matters, check the Automotive Industry Overview on standards. And if you want a refresher on how the diesel engine in these trucks works, the Internal Combustion Engine page gives the basics. But for parts, stick to this catalog.

Does this parts catalog include torque specifications?

No. This is a parts catalog, not a repair manual. It lists part numbers and quantities, not assembly torque specs.

Why are there separate listings for counterweights with different type numbers?

Still used multiple counterweight designs (type 244A, 244AA, 243A) across production years. The type number refers to the casting mold or the truck series. Using the wrong type will not bolt up. The catalog shows exactly which type fits your chassis number range. For example, the 1.6 t counterweight for type 244A is a different part than the 1.6 t for type 243A. If you ignore the type, you buy a counterweight that does not fit the mounting holes.

Stop flipping through third-party lists that might be close. Get the factory data that matches your truck’s serial number. If you have an R70-16, R70-18, or 70-20 diesel forklift built between 2003 and 2016, this 2244-page catalog gives you every part number you need. STILL STEDS R70-16 R70-18 Parts Catalogue is the parent document for this series. You might also need the STILL R70-16 Diesel Fork Truck Spare Parts List for older revisions, or the Still RC 40-16 2013 Parts Catalog – OEM Spare Parts List if you maintain other Still models.
