BJ 020719

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the BJ 020719 solenoid and what does it control in Big Joe equipment?
A: The BJ 020719 is an OEM 12VDC solenoid designed as a main power relay for Big Joe electric lift trucks, walkie stackers, pallet trucks, and order pickers. It provides reliable electromagnetic switching for hydraulic pump motors and main power circuits. The solenoid is rated for continuous duty operation, meaning it can remain energized during the entire shift without thermal shutdown. It functions as the primary power distributor relay in the truck electrical system.

Q: What are the physical specifications and terminal configuration of the BJ 020719?
A: The BJ 020719 features copper post terminals designed for direct connection to high current power circuits. It is configured with OEM mounting points that align with the factory installed solenoid location on Big Joe equipment, allowing drop-in replacement without modification to the truck electrical panel. The electromagnetic actuator is sealed to resist contamination from hydraulic mist and moisture in the truck environment.

Q: How do I identify when the BJ 020719 solenoid is failing or needs replacement?
A: Symptoms of solenoid failure include: the truck will not power on despite a fully charged battery and working key switch, audible clicking or humming from the solenoid that repeats rapidly, intermittent loss of all truck functions that reset when the key is turned off and back on, or complete absence of hydraulic pump motor operation. Any of these indicates the solenoid coil or contacts have failed and the solenoid requires replacement.

Q: Is the BJ 020719 compatible with other lift truck manufacturers or only Big Joe?
A: The BJ 020719 is manufactured as a Big Joe OEM solenoid and is designed for direct fit into Big Joe electric lift trucks, walkie stackers, pallet trucks, and order pickers. Cross compatibility with solenoids from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, or other manufacturers is not guaranteed without physical verification of mounting points and terminal configuration. Always confirm your equipment is Big Joe before ordering.

Q: What is the OEM part number and are there any cross reference numbers for the BJ 020719?
A: The OEM part number is 020719 and our SKU is BJ 020719. No cross reference or superseding part numbers are provided for this solenoid. When ordering or searching, use either 020719 or BJ 020719 to locate the correct continuous duty 12VDC main power relay solenoid for Big Joe equipment.
