Product Description
The Contact Tip Kit (Forward/Reverse Control) is a direct replacement electrical component for electric lift trucks. This kit contains silver-alloy contact tips that restore reliable directional control by replacing worn or corroded contacts in the forward and reverse contactor assembly. Silver-alloy construction resists pitting and maintains consistent electrical conductivity through thousands of contact cycles, ensuring smooth directional response and optimal power delivery. Essential maintenance component for 24V and 36V control systems on most major electric forklift and pallet jack brands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What components are included in the BR 28802-008 contact tip kit?
A: The BR 28802-008 is a contact tip kit containing forward and reverse control contacts. This kit is used in the directional control solenoid assembly on electric lift trucks. The kit includes all contact tips required to replace worn or corroded contacts in the forward and reverse contactor.
Q: When should the BR 28802-008 contact tip kit be replaced?
A: Replace the BR 28802-008 contact tip kit when experiencing sluggish directional response, hesitation when changing from forward to reverse, or visible pitting on contact surfaces. Contact wear accelerates with frequent directional changes and high-current applications. Inspect annually on heavily used trucks.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the BR 28802-008?
A: The BR 28802-008 contact tip kit is compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster electric lift trucks with 24V or 36V control systems. It fits standard contactor assemblies across most major manufacturers. Verify your equipment voltage and contactor configuration before ordering.
Q: How does contact tip wear affect lift truck performance?
A: Worn contact tips increase electrical resistance in the control circuit, reducing power delivery to drive motors and hydraulic pump solenoids. This causes slower acceleration, reduced driving speed, sluggish mast operation, and increased battery drain. Worn contacts also generate heat, accelerating degradation of control components.
Q: What material are the contact tips in the BR 28802-008?
A: The BR 28802-008 uses silver-alloy contact tips that resist pitting and corrosion better than standard copper contacts. Silver-alloy material maintains consistent electrical conductivity even after thousands of contact cycles, providing longer service life than standard alternatives.
