Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CT961-24 contactor rated for?
A: The CT961-24 is a 24VDC contactor for electric lift truck applications. It is used in motor control circuits to switch main power on and off in response to operator commands or load sensing signals.
Q: Is the CT961-24 compatible with my lift truck?
A: The CT961-24 is compatible with 24VDC electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Provide your lift truck manufacturer, model number, and serial number for confirmation that this contactor is correct for your equipment.
Q: How do I determine if the CT961-24 contactor has failed?
A: A failed contactor will prevent the lift truck motor from running even when control signals are present. Check for visible contact damage, discoloration, or pitting. If the coil is energized but the motor does not respond, or if the contactor makes unusual noise or arcing, the contactor requires replacement.
Q: What are the terminal specifications for the CT961-24?
A: Contact us with your lift truck serial number and equipment documentation. We can provide the exact terminal stud size, thread specification, and material for the CT961-24 to ensure proper fitment and electrical connection.
Q: How long does a CT961-24 contactor typically last?
A: Contactor life varies with duty cycle and operating conditions. Heavy-duty or frequent-start applications shorten contact life. Regular inspection for contact wear and electrical erosion helps predict replacement intervals. Replace immediately if contacts show significant pitting, welding, or the coil becomes unresponsive.
