Manitou MRT 2540+ MRT-X 2540+ 2013 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM

You’ve got a Manitou telehandler with a busted stabilizer cylinder, and the local dealer wants you to give them the serial number and wait three days for a part. I’ve been wrenching in San Antonio since before ASE was a thing, and I know that waiting costs money. A factory parts catalog cuts that wait to zero. This is the real thing—614 pages of OEM breakdowns for the Manitou MRT 2540+, MRT-X 2540+ 2013 Parts Catalog, straight out of Castelfranco Emilia. No aftermarket reinterpretation, no “compatible with” nonsense. Every bolt, every seal, every option is listed with the part number Manitou stamped on it.

Braccio and Sfilo Sections: What You Get

The boom assembly alone spans five subsections:  Esterno, 1° sfilo, 2° sfilo, 3° sfilo, and Aliment.braccio. That means you get the outer boom sections, each extension stage, and the hydraulic feed lines to the boom head. Need the wear pads for the second stage? You’ll find them under “2° sfilo” with the exact part number. The hydraulic schematics for the boom itself live under “Imp.idr.braccio” and “Imp.idr.sfilo”.  I’ve seen guys order a whole boom cylinder because they couldn’t find a seal kit. This catalog makes that mistake disappear.

Imp.Elettrico: Reading the Wiring Without Guessing

Electrical problems on a 2013 machine can be a mess when the harness is chafed and the cabling diagram is missing. The “Imp.Elettrico” chapter covers the entire electrical system: accelerator, anti-tilt (antiribaltamento) including the retractor, cable routing, display, transducers, fuse boxes for both cab and chassis, and the rotary collector with an exploded view. That rotary collector – “Collettore rotante – Esploso” – is a common failure point. Having the factory drawing means you can order the slip ring assembly instead of replacing the whole swivel. Don’t trust a third-party PDF for this; go with the original if you want the wires to match.

Index Numerico: How to Find Parts Fast

Two indexes are built in: an illustrated index (Index figurato) and a numerical index (Index numerico). The numerical index lists every part number in ascending order and tells you which page to flip to. This is the same system used in every Manitou shop. You don’t need to know where the part lives; just punch the number into the index. I’ve seen apprentices cut their lookup time in half with this. That’s real time saved on a Saturday morning when the parts house is closed.

Optional Parts: Factory-Listed Add-Ons

Manitou offered more than a dozen factory options for these models, and they’re all cataloged here. You want the Vortex filter (739522)? The catalytic muffler (739527)? The battery disconnect switch (921090)?  They’re in the Optional section with their own part numbers, illustrations, and sometimes separate mounting kits. If you’re retrofitting a work light kit or an A/C system, the option pages tell you exactly what brackets and hardware you need. This is better than any guesswork because it’s the same list the assembly line used.

Why Factory Parts Catalog Beats Aftermarket

I’ve seen aftermarket parts catalogs that list a “universal” seal for a hydrostatic pump. Then you bolt it in and the machine leaks down overnight. This catalog uses the same part numbers as the original Manitou factory spare parts system – period. Each illustration shows the exact assembly layout, with reference numbers keyed to the parts list. The hydraulic chapter covers the distributor, manifold, pumps, and both left and right control levers. The transmission section breaks down the axles (front 909224, rear 909225) with individual housings, steering cylinders, differentials, brakes, and planetary reductions. No ambiguity. If you want to read up on how diesel engines work in general, check out this Wikipedia article on diesel engines – but for ordering the right cylinder head gasket for the 739002 engine, trust the catalog.

3 Reasons to Use the Numerical Index

First, it’s sorted by whole part numbers, not ambiguous label text. Second, each entry points to the exact plate where the part appears. Third, the index is the same one Manitou dealers use. You don’t need to flip through 600 pages blind. Here’s a real tip: when you find a part in the index, write the page number on the inside cover with a grease pencil – saves time next service.

FAQ

Does this catalog cover the MRT-X 2540+ with the Privilege cab?

Yes. The manual title includes both MRT 2540+ and MRT-X 2540+, and the cab section covers the Privilege cab structure, seat, window, trim, and fixings.

I need a part number for the rotary distributor slip ring. Where do I look?

Go to the “Imp.Elettrico” chapter, then find “Collettore rotante” and open the “Esploso” subsection. That exploded view shows every contact ring, brush, and seal with its own reference number. Cross-reference with the numerical index if you have an existing part number. The diagram is the same one the factory uses during rebuilds – I’ve used it myself to order the correct slip ring kit without buying a $600 assembly.

This catalog is 614 pages of pure OEM data – no aftermarket reinterpretation, no guesswork. It’s the same document a Manitou dealer pulls up when you call with a serial number. If you’re rebuilding a stabilizer leg or replacing a boom extension seal, you need the right numbers. Download the Factory Manual and keep it on your tablet or print the pages you need. That’s how you get the job done without running to the dealer twice.
