Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage rating of the 375-1949 contactor?
A: The 375-1949 is a 24-volt DC contactor for electric lift truck systems. It is not compatible with 36-volt, 48-volt, or AC electrical systems.
Q: What electric lift truck models is the 375-1949 compatible with?
A: The 375-1949 fits select 24-volt electric lift truck models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Jungheinrich. Always confirm your equipment model and serial number match the part specification.
Q: What causes a contactor like the 375-1949 to fail prematurely?
A: Premature failure results from sustained overload conditions, continuous exposure to moisture or corrosive environments, excessive control cycling, loose electrical connections creating heat, or impact damage to the contactor housing.
Q: How do I identify contactor failure in my lift truck?
A: Listen for a single click followed by silence when engaging controls, or erratic clicking patterns. Visually inspect for burned contacts (black or pitted surfaces), corrosion on terminals, or a burnt smell when power is applied.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of the 375-1949 under normal operating conditions?
A: Under moderate duty with standard cycling, expect 4 to 8 years of reliable service. Lighter-duty applications may see extended life. Contact degradation from electrical arcing is the primary wear mechanism.
Q: Are cross-reference parts available for the 375-1949?
A: Cross-reference alternatives depend on your specific OEM equipment and coil specifications. Provide your truck model, year, and serial number to our parts team for verified compatible part numbers.
