Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which electric lift truck brands is this part compatible with?
A: This part is compatible with Albright, Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Yale, Nichiyu, Nissan, and Hyundai electric lift trucks. Verify your equipment model and nameplate voltage (36V or 48V system) before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: What material is used for the contacts and how does it affect performance?
A: The contactor features silver alloy contacts that provide superior electrical conductivity and arcing resistance. This construction ensures reliable performance through thousands of motor control and load-switching cycles in industrial applications.
Q: How long can I expect this contactor to last under normal operating conditions?
A: The AL SW180L-36 is engineered for heavy-duty applications and delivers over 5,000,000 mechanical operations. The double breaking contact design and welded-resistant material resist erosion and contact welding, maintaining reliable switching performance through extended service intervals.
Q: What should I do if the contactor is not functioning properly?
A: If the contactor does not pull in at rated voltage or exhibits sluggish operation, inspect terminal connections for corrosion, oxidation, or looseness. Clean accessible terminals with electrical contact cleaner if oxidation is visible. Contact us for replacement evaluation if needed.
Q: Are there any cross-reference part numbers for this contactor?
A: Cross-reference part numbers include ALSW180-36, ALSW18036, and SW18036. Equivalent parts are listed under the SW180 series. The manufacturer part number is AL SW180L-36 and the part number is SW180L-36. Cross-verify coil voltage (36V or 48V) and current ratings when sourcing alternatives.
