Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage is SKU 121218 rated for?
A: SKU 121218 is a 36 volt solenoid. Verify your lift truck electrical system operates at 36V before ordering. Using an incorrect voltage solenoid can damage your equipment and void warranties.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use a 36 volt solenoid?
A: 36 volt solenoids fit many older model electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Clark. Check your equipment nameplate or serial range to confirm 36V system voltage. Many models from the 1990s and early 2000s operated on 36V before transitioning to 24V systems.
Q: How long does a solenoid typically last?
A: Solenoid lifespan depends on usage frequency and electrical load. Heavy-use equipment may see solenoid failures within 2 to 4 years, while moderate use can extend life to 5 to 7 years. Frequent clicking sounds, intermittent power loss, or failure to engage the motor are signs of solenoid wear.
Q: What materials are used in this solenoid?
A: Industrial solenoids like SKU 121218 are constructed with copper windings, an iron core, and a movable plunger. The electrical coil is typically encased in a protective housing rated for industrial material handling environments.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for SKU 121218?
A: SKU 121218 is our house brand designation for a 36 volt solenoid. Cross-reference your equipment manual for OEM part numbers from Crown, Toyota, or Raymond to confirm exact compatibility. Contact us with your equipment model and serial number for verified cross-references.
