Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the 800130887 contactor and what voltage rating does it have?
A: The 800130887 is a 24VDC contactor designed for electric lift truck main power circuit applications. The contactor coil operates at 24VDC continuous duty with a control voltage of 24VDC nominal. It is panel-mounted with M8 stud terminals for secure electrical connections in high-vibration environments.

Q: Which electric lift truck brands use the 800130887 contactor?
A: The 800130887 is compatible with 24VDC electric lift truck systems from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Hyster, Yale, and Jungheinrich. Verify your equipment main power circuit voltage is 24VDC before ordering. Incorrect voltage will damage the contactor and disable the lift truck.

Q: What does intermittent duty rating mean for the 800130887?
A: Intermittent duty means the contactor is designed for periodic on-off cycling typical of material handling equipment, not continuous operation without breaks. Lift trucks that cycle the main power circuit during normal operation fall within intermittent duty specifications. Sustained continuous operation may overheat the coil.

Q: What is the purpose of M8 stud terminals on the 800130887?
A: M8 stud terminals provide secure mechanical connections for high-amperage power circuits. These threaded studs resist vibration loosening in mobile equipment and simplify electrical connections using standard nuts and lugs. M8 is a common industrial standard for main power circuit contactors.

Q: How long does the 800130887 contactor typically last before replacement?
A: Contactor lifespan depends on switching frequency and electrical loads. In typical intermittent duty lift truck service, contactors perform reliably for 3-5 years. Symptoms of failure include inability to energize the main circuit, arcing at terminals, or coil burnout. A failed contactor disables the lift truck until replaced.
