Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 998547 contactor rated for?
A: CL 998547 is a General Electric (GE) contactor rated at 150 amperes. It switches high-current power circuits in electric lift trucks to control motor direction and speed functions.
Q: What electric lift truck equipment uses the CL 998547 contactor?
A: This GE 150A contactor is compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar electric pallet jacks and forklifts manufactured between the 1990s and 2010s. Cross-reference your control schematic to confirm voltage and contact configuration match your equipment.
Q: What voltage is the CL 998547 designed for?
A: CL 998547 contactors are typically available in 24VDC or 48VDC configurations depending on your lift truck battery system. Verify the coil voltage on the parts label before ordering to match your equipment.
Q: What is the maintenance schedule for the CL 998547 contactor?
A: Inspect the contact surfaces annually for pitting or carbon buildup. Keep terminals and connectors clean and secure. Replace if contacts are severely worn, arcing occurs during operation, or the coil fails to energize the magnet.
Q: How long does a CL 998547 contactor typically last?
A: GE contactors rated at 150A typically provide 5 to 8 years of service in normal warehouse material handling. Heavy-duty or continuous-use equipment may see reduced lifespan. Failure symptoms include stuck contacts, humming coil, or failure to switch circuits.
Q: Are there equivalent contactors to the CL 998547?
A: Yes. Equivalent 150A contactors from GE, Siemens, and ABB are often cross-compatible if voltage, coil type, and contact configuration match. Consult your lift truck wiring diagram or contact our technical team to verify equivalents before substituting.
