Product Description
CONTACTOR (36 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage is the CT573-36 contactor rated for?
A: The CT573-36 is rated for 36 volt DC coil voltage. This is a higher voltage contactor used in electric lift trucks with 36V battery systems, common in certain Toyota, Raymond, and Crown electric models.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the CT573-36?
A: The CT573-36 is designed for electric lift trucks with 36VDC control systems. Confirm your truck battery voltage and control circuit voltage before ordering. Mismatched voltage will cause failure or damage.
Q: What are the contact specifications of the CT573-36?
A: The CT573-36 is a power contactor with normally open contacts. When energized, it closes the main power circuit to the drive and lift motors. Verify the contact amperage rating matches your truck motor specifications.
Q: How do I know if my CT573-36 has failed?
A: Loss of lift or drive power, intermittent operation triggered by vibration, audible humming with no motor response, or visible pitting on contact surfaces indicate contactor failure. Multimeter testing confirms open circuits or stuck contacts.
Q: What maintenance does the CT573-36 require?
A: Contactors are sealed units and do not require maintenance. Inspect the connector for corrosion and ensure mating connectors are tight. If the contactor begins to fail, replacement is the standard repair approach.
