Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What components are included in the 8730647 contact kit?
A: The 8730647 is a replacement contact kit containing electrical contacts and related components for electric lift truck contactors. Contact kits typically include contact sets, springs, and mounting hardware needed to restore contactor function without replacing the entire unit.
Q: Is the 8730647 contact kit compatible with 24-volt and higher voltage systems?
A: The 8730647 is designed for 24-volt systems. Do not use this kit in 48-volt, 80-volt, or higher voltage contactors. Verify your contactor voltage before ordering. Using a 24-volt contact kit in higher voltage systems creates electrical hazards and equipment damage.
Q: What signs indicate that contact replacement is needed?
A: Replace contacts when you experience intermittent electrical connection, buzzing sounds from the contactor, failure to engage or disengage consistently, or visible pitting and wear on contact surfaces. These symptoms indicate contact degradation that compromises electrical performance.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use the 8730647 contact kit?
A: The 8730647 contact kit fits multiple electric lift truck models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Confirm your equipment model and contactor type before ordering to ensure fitment.
Q: How often should the 8730647 contact kit be replaced?
A: Contact kits do not have a fixed replacement interval. Replace them when electrical faults occur or when visual inspection shows worn or pitted contacts. High-use trucks may require contact replacement every 2 to 3 years. Low-use equipment may go longer between replacements.
