Still RC40-16T, RC40-18T, RC40-20T 2016 Parts Catalog

If you’re chasing a part number for a Still RC40-16T, RC40-18T, or RC40-20T LPG fork truck and you’re flipping through a third-party parts list, you’re gambling with your time and your customer’s money. I’ve seen more wrong gaskets and mismatched cylinder heads from aftermarket catalogs than I care to count. This 2016 Parts Catalog from Still is the factory document – 2197 pages of verified part numbers, exploded diagrams, and the exact breakdown of every component on these trucks. No guesswork.

LPG Engine and Cylinder Head: Factory Part Numbers You Can Trust

The Still RC40-16T, RC40-18T, RC40-20T 2016 Parts Catalog starts with the IC engine section. Under LPG ENGINE you’ll find subdivided chapters: ENGINE SUSPENSIONS (vibration damper), HOUSING, BREATHER, SPEED CONTROLLING, IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR, SPARK PLUGS, ALTERNATOR, STARTER MOTOR, GASKET KIT, OIL SUMP, LUBRICATION, CYLINDER HEAD, GAS FILTER, INTAKE AND EXHAUST MANIFOLDS, VENTILATION, WATER PUMP, and COOLING. Each sub-assembly shows a figure with numbered callouts, part numbers, quantities, descriptions, and validity by truck model and serial number range. For a place to start, the LPG engine chapter alone covers the full rotating assembly and ancillaries. Need a water pump gasket? The exploded view lists the exact part number. The cooling section ties directly to the radiator and fan group later in the catalog.

2197 Pages – What That Means on the Workbench

That’s 2197 pages of OEM data. To give you a sense of scope: the catalog covers PRODUCT INFORMATION (vehicle documents), IC ENGINE, IC ENGINE AUXILIARY PARTS (air filter, cooling system, LPG system with evaporator and mixing device, LPG cylinder with seven different gas bottle connection types), IC ENGINE EXHAUST SYSTEM (spill down/spill at top, 3-way catalytic silencer kits), TRANSMISSION (complete transmission, differential, right and left axle assembly, front wheel brakes, gear drive, forward and reverse clutches, hydraulic distributor, inching drive control, oil pump, dipstick, torque converter), CHASSIS (counterweight, battery bearing), OPERATOR’S COMPARTMENT (driver’s cab including multiple cabin variants, wiper systems, steel doors, sound proofing, driver’s seats from MSG 20 to MSG 65 with wiring diagrams, heating), STEERING SYSTEM (hydraulic steering, steering column, steering axle), WHEELS AND TYRES, BRAKE SYSTEM, CONTROLS, ELECTRICS; ELECTRONICS, HYDRAULICS, WORKING HYDRAULICS, MAST (from serial number 5140*** and up to serial number F540*** 01.09.2010->), LOAD SUPPORT, ATTACHMENTS (with same serial number splits), SPECIAL EQUIPMENT, and OTHER ACCESSORIES. Every one of those sections is cross-referenced by figure and part number.

Aftermarket Catalogs: Why They Fail Your Repair

Aftermarket parts catalogs often omit part number revisions, supersessions, and validity by serial number or production date. This Still manual includes exact validity – for example, the MAST section shows “from serial number 5140***” and “up to serial number F540*** 01.09.2010->”. That kind of detail prevents ordering wrong parts for older or newer trucks. Also, the LPG cylinder section lists seven distinct gas bottle connection types (German, Antargaz, Outages, Primagaz, Totalgaz, ACME, Italian), each with its own support assembly and part numbers. A generic catalog would lump them together; this one gives you the correct part for the connector on your truck. If you are working on a truck with a Primagaz connection, you go directly to that sub-section and get the exact bracket and hose assembly.

Cooling System and Water Pump: Factory Diagrams

The COOLING section under IC ENGINE and the IC ENGINE AUXILIARY PARTS both address the cooling system. The auxiliary section breaks down the water cooler with air duct assembly and the RADIATOR WITH GRILLE. If you need a radiator or fan shroud, the exploded views show every bracket and hose clip. Part numbers for the specific variant of your truck – essential when the cooler has different dimensions for the RC40-16T vs the RC40-20T. The water pump (under IC ENGINE) includes the housing and coolant passages. The fan is driven by the belt, and the belt part number is listed in the alternator section. Cross-referencing between these sections is straightforward because the catalog uses consistent figure numbers.

Transmission and Drivetrain: From Torque Converter to Wheel Brakes

The TRANSMISSION chapter includes COMPLETE TRASMISSION, DIFFERENTIAL, RIGHT AND LEFT AXLE ASSEMBLY, FRONT WHEEL BRAKES, GEAR DRIVE, CLUTCH (forward/backwards), HYDRAULIC DISTRIBUTOR (assembly and spare parts), INCHING DRIVE CONTROL, OIL PUMP, DIPSTICK, and TORQUE CONVERTER. Each sub-assembly gets its own figure. The torque converter alone has multiple part numbers depending on the build date and serial number range. The catalog reference numbers allow you to cross-reference with the Still factory parts system. For the axle assemblies, the right and left sides are listed separately – you might think they’re identical, but the catalog shows different part numbers for the left vs right steering knuckle. That’s the kind of detail you only get from OEM documentation.

FAQ – Still RC40 Parts Catalog

Does this catalog cover the LPG system completely?

The LPG system section includes evaporator, mixing device, fuel filter, and all gas bottle connections.

How do I find the correct part number for my RC40-18T?

The catalog is organized by functional groups like engine, transmission, etc. At the top of each section, there is a heading specifying the model and validity. For example, under MAST, you’ll see ‘from serial number 5140***’ and ‘up to serial number F540*** 01.09.2010->’. You need to check your truck’s serial number against these. Additionally, the product information section near the front contains vehicle documents that may include a data plate breakdown. If you are still uncertain, cross-reference with the Still dealer parts system using the part numbers from this catalog. The catalog also lists part numbers for optional equipment like different gas bottle connections, so ensure you select the correct one for your region.

Is this the same as the service repair manual?

No, this is a parts catalog. It lists every part with part numbers and diagrams, but does not include repair procedures or torque specs. You need the service repair manual for those.

Can I use this for older models like RC40-16 from 2013?

This specific catalog is dated 2016 and covers the RC40-16T, RC40-18T, RC40-20T. For the 2013 model year, you would need the 2013 Parts Catalog. Still updated parts numbers over time, so using the correct year catalog ensures you get the latest supersession.
