Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the amperage rating for the CR 106109-001 contactor?
A: The CR 106109-001 is rated at 150 amperes. This contactor is designed for Crown electric lift trucks that require high-amperage switching for drive motor and hydraulic pump circuits.
Q: Which Crown lift truck models use the CR 106109-001 150-amp contactor?
A: The CR 106109-001 is a 150-amp contactor for Crown electric lift trucks. Larger capacity trucks or those with higher-horsepower motors typically use 150-amp rated contactors. Verify your truck model and electrical rating to confirm this is the correct replacement.
Q: Is the CR 106109-001 compatible with the CR 106109?
A: The CR 106109-001 is rated at 150 amperes. The CR 106109 specifications are unclear. These may not be direct substitutes if they have different amperage or voltage ratings. Contact us with your equipment specifications to confirm the correct contactor for your Crown truck.
Q: What happens if I use a lower-rated contactor instead of the CR 106109-001?
A: Using an undersized contactor can cause the contacts to overheat, arc, and fail prematurely. The truck may lose power under load or experience intermittent operation. Always use a contactor rated for the full amperage required by your lift truck motor and pump systems. Never downgrade the amperage rating.
Q: How often should the CR 106109-001 contactor be tested or replaced?
A: Contactors wear based on switching cycles and load conditions. In typical warehouse service, a contactor may last several years. If the truck exhibits starting difficulty, hesitation, or intermittent power loss, test the contactor for proper operation. Consider replacement if contacts show pitting or erosion during inspection.
