Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage is the CTR-12-118 contactor rated for?
A: The CTR-12-118 is a 12-volt contactor designed for electric lift trucks operating on 12VDC control and traction systems. Verify your equipments coil voltage is 12VDC before ordering to ensure proper operation.
Q: Which lift truck brands use the CTR-12-118?
A: This 12-volt contactor is compatible with electric lift trucks from manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Confirm your equipment requires a 12VDC contactor and verify contact configuration and amperage rating match your truck specifications.
Q: How do I identify if the CTR-12-118 is the correct replacement?
A: Check your lift truck manual or existing contactor for voltage requirement (12VDC), contact type (single pole, double pole), amperage rating, and mounting configuration. Compare these specifications to the CTR-12-118. If specifications do not match exactly, the contactor will not function properly.
Q: What symptoms indicate a 12-volt contactor needs replacement?
A: Replace the contactor if the lift truck has sluggish or delayed motor engagement, weak acceleration, intermittent power loss, or audible buzzing during operation. Visible burn marks or pitting on contact surfaces, or a multimeter reading of no voltage at the motor, also indicate replacement is necessary.
