Product Description
SOLENOID (36 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage is the APIE-4032 solenoid rated for?
A: The APIE-4032 is a 36 volt solenoid. Do not install on 12 volt or 80 volt equipment. Confirm your electric lift truck is 36 volt before ordering.
Q: Which electric lift trucks use a 36 volt solenoid like the APIE-4032?
A: The APIE-4032 36 volt solenoid is compatible with 36 volt electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and other manufacturers. 36 volt systems are common in mid-range electric trucks. Verify your equipment nameplate voltage before ordering.
Q: Can I use the APIE-4032 as a replacement for a different voltage solenoid?
A: No. The APIE-4032 is rated only for 36 volt systems. Installing it on 12 volt or 80 volt equipment will damage the solenoid coil and may create electrical hazards. Always match voltage exactly.
Q: How long does the APIE-4032 solenoid typically last?
A: A 36 volt solenoid in normal warehouse duty typically lasts 3 to 5 years. Battery condition, charging system health, and electrical load affect lifespan. Replace if engagement becomes sluggish or fails.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate the APIE-4032 needs replacement?
A: Common failure signs are weak engagement, chattering, intermittent disengagement, or complete no-engagement. Test coil continuity and battery voltage to confirm solenoid failure versus other electrical issues.
