Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a point set used for on forklift equipment?
A: A point set is a wear component that provides electrical contact surfaces in the ignition or charging system of forklift equipment. Point sets conduct electrical current between components and must be replaced when worn or corroded to maintain proper equipment operation.
Q: How do I know when a point set needs replacement?
A: Replace the point set when you observe pitting, corrosion, or discoloration of the contact surfaces, or when the equipment exhibits starting difficulty, ignition misfires, or charging system faults. Regular inspection during maintenance intervals helps identify wear before failure occurs.
Q: What material are forklift point sets made from?
A: Point sets are typically manufactured from silver alloy or nickel-silver contacts mounted on a base material designed to withstand repeated electrical arcing and thermal cycling. The contact material resists oxidation and maintains consistent conductivity over the component lifespan.
Q: How often should point sets be serviced or replaced?
A: Service intervals vary based on equipment age, operating conditions, and duty cycle. Modern equipment may have sealed or maintenance-free point sets. Consult your equipment documentation or contact us with your specific model and serial number for replacement schedule recommendations.
