Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the TO 00591-31516-81 contact kit for Toyota electric lift trucks?
A: The TO 00591-31516-81 is a contact kit containing replacement electrical contacts and associated components for the motor controller or directional switch assembly. This kit restores electrical conductivity when existing contacts become worn, pitted, or corroded.
Q: When should I replace the contacts in this kit instead of replacing the entire controller or switch?
A: Replace contacts if the lift truck exhibits hesitation during operation, intermittent loss of power, or unreliable directional switching, but the motor itself runs normally. If replacing contacts does not resolve the issue, the underlying switch or controller assembly may require replacement. Contact us to confirm diagnosis.
Q: Are the contacts in this kit compatible with other Toyota lift truck models or other OEM brands?
A: This contact kit is specific to the TO 00591-31516-81 specification for Toyota equipment. Contact assemblies vary by model, voltage, and amperage rating. Do not substitute into Crown, Raymond, Yale, Jungheinrich, or other OEM lift trucks. Verify your equipment model and serial range.
Q: What material are these electrical contacts made from and how long do they typically last?
A: Contacts are typically made from silver-alloy or copper-based materials for high conductivity and durability. Expected lifespan is 3-7 years depending on switching frequency and electrical load. High-duty cycle environments (fast frequent switching) and cold storage operations reduce lifespan.
Q: Does this contact kit include any fasteners or springs, or is it just the contact elements?
A: The TO 00591-31516-81 contact kit includes the essential electrical contact elements. Verify your specific assembly to determine if additional springs, fasteners, or mounting hardware are needed separately. Contact us with your model details for a complete parts list.
