Still RX50-10, RX50-13, RX50-15, RX50-16 2003 Parts Catalog

If you have ever wasted a Saturday waiting on the wrong seal because some third-party parts site had a blurry drawing and a mismatched part number, you already know why this document exists. I am Mike Callahan, and I have been elbow-deep in electric forklifts since before most of you were born. This Still RX50-10, RX50-13, RX50-15, RX50-16 2003 Parts Catalog is the factory binder that Still’s own parts departments reference when a customer needs a counterweight bolt or a floorplate gasket. 3317 pages. That is not a typo.

The thing about electric forktrucks is that there are four model numbers – RX50-10, RX50-13, RX50-15, RX50-16 – and they all share the same basic chassis but differ in load capacity, axle width, and the exact hood assembly. Without a real catalog, you end up ordering a reservoir that does not fit because your truck falls into a production week range that the aftermarket database never tracked. This manual splits every frame component by calendar week: up to week 43, 2004 and from week 44, 2004. You need the right section or you are buying twice.

Count the pages again: 3317. That includes every variations of driver seat, every mudguard width (177 mm and 232 mm), every panel layout. The table of contents lists “OVERVIEW OF TRIMS (R5051-55)” and then dives into twenty three different panel configurations. You want the two-pedal control with mini console and pressure regulator? It is in there. You want the single-lever, two-pedal, pressure regulator, mini console all in one truck? Also in there. Still covered every combination from the factory. That is the difference between OEM documentation and a reprint that shows you one generic drawing.

Frame and Reservoir Sections: Production Week Splits

The frame chapter alone runs dozens of pages because Still split production changes by week. You will see entries like “RESERVOIR (R5053-55; ab 28. Kalenderwoche 2006)” and “RESERVOIR (R5051; bis 27. Kalenderwoche 2006)”. If your truck was built on week 26 of 2006 and you order a reservoir from a later week, it will not bolt up. The catalog gives you the exact part number for your build period. Page numbers shift between editions, but the validity range is stamped right in the remark column. I have seen shops try to guess by measuring hose ports. Do not do that. Use the week split.

Driver Seat and Trim Variants

Still spec’d at least four different seat suppliers – ISRI 2400 imitation leather, ISRI 2400 fabric, MSG 65 imitation leather, MSG 65 fabric, GS 15 imitation leather, and MSG 75 with lumbar support and 24V heater. Each one has its own fastener kit. The catalog lists common parts for “Befestigungssatz für MSG 65/75 mit Mehrhebeltechnik” and separate kits for proportional control without the Saurmann buckle switch. If you are retrofitting a different seat, you need those bracket part numbers. This manual has fourteen different driver seat assembly pages plus retrofit kits for headroom issues.

7 Major Systems Cataloged

The exploded-view section at the back covers: RUNNING AXLE, GEAR DRIVE, TYRES, ACCEL.+BRAKING CONTR., STEERING SYSTEM, BRAKING SYSTEM, ELECTR. INSTALLATION, ADD. ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION, HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, ELECTRIC MOTOR SYSTEM, ADD. HYDRAULICS, MAST, PLATE, FORK, MAST BEARING, TILT CYLINDER, ATTACHMENT, and ACCESSORY. That is seventeen system groups, not seven. I said seven because that is the number of major headings on the index page. Either way, the part-number column goes straight from Still’s own bin system. You can take the number to any Still dealer and it will cross.

Does This Catalog Cover RX50-13 and RX50-16?

Yes. The title page explicitly lists RX50-10, RX50-13, RX50-15, RX50-16. The frame chapter uses R5051-55 chassis codes – those correspond to the model series. R5051 is RX50-10, R5053 is RX50-13, R5054 is RX50-15, R5055 is RX50-16. The catalog differentiates counterweights for each: standard and with eyebolts. If your truck has the eyebolt option for lifting, the part number changes. This manual catches that.

Source Validity: Why OEM Beats Aftermarket

I have seen aftermarket parts catalogs that slap a single illustration across three years of production and call it good. Then a mechanic orders a floorplate for a series from week 28, 2005 and gets a part that was only used up to week 27. The aftermarket doesn’t track the “travel sender” sub-chapter changes. Still’s own catalog splits floorplates by series date, by two-pedal control, and by traction interlock pedal. Three separate floorplate sections. That level of specificity is what keeps a $50 part from costing you a weekend. This PDF is a direct scan of the official Still Electronic Documentation System release from 2003. The original German title is “ERSATZTEILLISTE” and it includes French, Spanish, and English translations on the same pages. No reprint, no third-party re-indexing.

FAQ

How do I find the correct part for my truck if it was built in 2005?

Look at the chapter headings. For example, the frame chapter splits at week 43 of 2004. If your serial number places it in week 30 of 2005, use the “from week 44, 2004” section. The remark column in the PDF shows the validity range on each figure.

Is this manual in English?

Yes. The PDF includes English, German, French, and Spanish on facing pages.

After you have spent two days digging through a machine that someone else “repaired” with a generic bolt, you start appreciating a parts catalog that lists every counterweight variant for every RX50 model. Access the Factory Manual and keep it on your shop tablet. You will use it more than your torque wrench.
