Product Description
CONTACTOR (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage rating does the CT580-24 contactor operate at?
A: The CT580-24 is rated for 24 volt DC systems. This contactor is designed specifically for electric pallet jacks, forklifts, and material handling equipment that use 24V battery banks. Do not use this part on 12V or 36V systems.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands does the CT580-24 fit?
A: The CT580-24 is compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster electric pallet jacks and forklifts that use 24V electrical systems. Verify your equipment voltage before ordering. Check the equipment nameplate or battery rating to confirm it is 24V before installation.
Q: What is the amperage capacity of this contactor?
A: The CT580-24 contactor handles the standard 24V circuit load for most electric lift trucks. Exact amperage depends on your specific equipment model and motor load. Contact us with your equipment model number if you need to verify amperage compatibility.
Q: How long do contactors typically last on electric lift trucks?
A: Contactors like the CT580-24 typically last 3 to 5 years under normal operating conditions. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, environmental conditions, and voltage stability. Contactors in cold storage or frequent on-off cycling may wear faster. Replace immediately if the motor does not respond to pedal input or power does not engage.
Q: What are the physical dimensions and mounting specifications for the CT580-24?
A: The CT580-24 uses standard solenoid contactor mounting with a compact DIN rail footprint. Exact dimensions vary by housing type. Contact us with your equipment model to confirm mounting hole spacing and terminal orientation match your circuit board.
Q: Is the CT580-24 a direct replacement for other 24V contactor part numbers?
A: The CT580-24 is a cross-reference replacement for equivalent 24V contactors from OEM suppliers. Always verify terminal layout, coil resistance, and mounting footprint match your circuit before ordering. If you have an old part number, provide it to us for exact compatibility confirmation.
