TIPS
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the CT 972781 tips and what is their function?
A: The CT 972781 tips are replacement contact or electrode tips used in electric lift truck control systems. These tips manage high-amperage electrical connections in contactors, solenoids, and relay circuits. Worn tips prevent reliable circuit closure and reduce equipment performance.
Q: Which electric lift trucks use CT 972781 tips?
A: The CT 972781 tips are compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and other major brand electric pallet jacks. Verify your equipment voltage rating and solenoid type before ordering. Cross-reference your truck model and control circuit configuration to confirm fitment.
Q: What causes tip wear and when should they be replaced?
A: Tips erode due to electrical arcing and repeated contact cycling. Heavy use, high-amperage loads, and poor electrical maintenance accelerate wear. Replace tips when they become pitted, fused, or carbon-coated. Degraded tips cause hesitation, intermittent control response, and brake function failures.
Q: What material are the CT 972781 tips made from?
A: The CT 972781 tips are manufactured from silver alloy or copper-based materials that resist arcing and provide low contact resistance. These materials handle high-current switching without degrading. Material selection ensures reliable electrical continuity over thousands of cycles.
Q: How often do tip assemblies need replacement?
A: Tip lifespan ranges from 1 to 2 years in normal duty cycles and 6 to 12 months in high-use operations. Monitor your equipment for poor response times, chattering, or audible arcing as early warning signs. Preventive replacement during routine maintenance reduces downtime.
