Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT 216136 contactor used for?
A: The CT 216136 is an electromagnetic contactor that switches high-current power circuits in Crown electric lift trucks. It controls motor startup, pump operation, and charging circuits.
Q: Which Crown models are compatible with the CT 216136 contactor?
A: The CT 216136 fits multiple Crown electric lift truck models across different voltage and amperage ranges. Check your truck nameplate for voltage, amperage, and coil specifications before ordering.
Q: What are the electrical specifications of the CT 216136?
A: The CT 216136 is designed for 12V or 24V DC coil operation and handles high-current motor loads typical in electric lift trucks. Verify coil voltage and current rating match your equipment.
Q: What are signs the CT 216136 contactor is failing?
A: Replace the CT 216136 if the truck fails to start, the contactor buzzes or chatters, you smell burning insulation, or the motor runs intermittently. These symptoms indicate contact wear or coil failure.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the CT 216136 contactor?
