In this catalogue we offer specific solutions for the repair and maintenance of transmission systems in telescopic handlers and lifting vehicles.

This selection is aimed at professional mechanics and fleet managers who require reliable spare parts to restore the equipment’s functionality. We offer references suitable for various models, designed to withstand the usual workloads and torsional stress in demanding environments.
Criteria for selecting the right drive shaft
- OEM reference: Locate the original code stamped on the old part or in the parts manual; this is the safest way to avoid mistakes.
- Working length: Check both the compressed and extended length to ensure the shaft fits perfectly in the chassis without forcing the joints.
- Flange specifications: Check the outer diameter and the distance between the mounting holes to ensure correct coupling.
- Load capacity: Make sure the spare part meets the torque and power specifications for your Manitou machine model.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check compatibility with my Manitou model?
The most accurate option is to check the reference stamped on the tube or the yokes of your current cardan shaft. You can also compare the technical measurements and the mounting type in our product sheets with the specifications in your machine manual.
When is it necessary to replace the complete drive shaft?
Replacement is recommended if you notice deformation in the tube, cracks in the yokes, or widespread wear in the splines that cannot be resolved by changing only the universal joint. Excessive vibrations are often the first indicator of structural failure.
Do the drive shafts come ready for installation?
Complete drive shafts are usually supplied assembled and balanced, ready for installation on the vehicle. However, we recommend checking the specific description for each reference to confirm whether it includes fastening elements or additional grease fittings.
Where can I see the availability of a specific reference?
The availability of each spare part is indicated on the product page. If you need to confirm stock for an urgent repair or cannot find a specific reference in the list, you can contact our team to check availability or look for compatible alternatives.
