CONTACT KIT (100 AMP)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the 1115577 100-amp contact kit fit?
A: The 1115577 contact kit is a 100-amp electrical component for electric pallet jacks and electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. It is used in the contactor assembly to switch high-amperage electrical circuits. Verify your equipment model and electrical system voltage before ordering.
Q: What does a 100-amp contact kit do?
A: The contact kit contains electrical contacts that open and close to control current flow to the forklift motor and hydraulic pump. The 100-amp rating indicates this kit handles up to 100 amperes of electrical current. It is a wear item that requires periodic replacement as contacts erode over time.
Q: How long does a contact kit typically last?
A: Contact kit lifespan depends on duty cycle and operating conditions. Under standard warehouse use, expect 2000 to 4000 operating hours before contacts wear and require replacement. Heavy-duty or continuous operation reduces lifespan. Symptoms include motor sluggishness, intermittent operation, or electrical chattering sounds from the contactor.
Q: What are cross-reference part numbers for the 1115577 contact kit?
A: Cross-reference equivalents and variant numbers depend on your specific equipment manufacturer and model year. Contact us with your forklift model, serial number, and electrical specifications to confirm compatibility and identify alternative part numbers if available.
Q: Does this contact kit work with both AC and DC electric forklifts?
A: The 1115577 is designed for specific electrical configurations. Most modern electric forklifts use DC systems powered by batteries. Confirm your equipment electrical system type (AC or DC) and voltage (24V, 36V, 48V, or 80V) before ordering to ensure compatibility.
