Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CR 104448 contactor tip made from?
A: The CR 104448 is manufactured from materials engineered to withstand repeated electrical arcing and mechanical wear in Crown electric lift truck contactors. Material composition and surface finish are critical to reliable switching performance.
Q: How do I order the correct CR 104448 replacement?
A: Provide your Crown lift truck model number, serial number, and contactor part number. We can verify the CR 104448 is the correct replacement for your equipment and advise on any equivalent or compatible options.
Q: What causes pitting or erosion on contactor tips?
A: Pitting and erosion occur from electrical arcing when contacts make and break under load. Higher currents, faster switching, or poor contact pressure increase arcing damage. This is normal wear but indicates the tip must be replaced.
Q: Do contactor tips need maintenance between replacements?
A: Tips themselves do not require maintenance. However, keep the contactor assembly clean and free from debris. Inspect spring tension and contact pressure regularly. Poor contactor condition accelerates tip wear.
Q: Can I reuse or refurbish a worn contactor tip?
A: No. Once a tip shows pitting or erosion, it should be replaced. Attempting to polish or refurbish a damaged tip risks electrical failure, arcing, and equipment damage. Always use new OEM tips.
