Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the purpose of SKU A28846-5 in electric lift equipment?
A: A28846-5 is an electrical contact assembly for electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. This component manages electrical connections in the mast, steering, or traction control systems. It must maintain clean, low-resistance contact under load.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use A28846-5?
A: This contact assembly is compatible with electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale. Verify your equipment model and system voltage before ordering, as electrical contacts are application-specific.
Q: What material are the contacts in A28846-5?
A: A28846-5 uses silver-plated or copper alloy contacts with corrosion-resistant coatings. These materials provide low electrical resistance and prevent arcing. Contact surfaces are precision-finished for reliable connection under repeated switching cycles.
Q: How does contact failure affect equipment operation?
A: Failed or corroded contacts cause intermittent electrical signals, loss of steering control, traction loss, or complete power loss to the mast. Equipment may shut down automatically for safety. Do not operate with suspected contact failures.
Q: What maintenance does A28846-5 require?
A: Contact assemblies require visual inspection for corrosion or pitting during routine service intervals. If contacts become oxidized or stuck, replacement is necessary; contacts cannot be reliably cleaned or restored. Check electrical continuity with a multimeter to diagnose contact problems.
