CONTACT KIT
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a contact kit and when is it needed?
A: A contact kit contains electrical contacts for solenoid, contactor, or control switch components on electric pallet jacks and lift trucks. It is needed when electrical contacts become pitted, burned, or corroded and prevent proper electrical circuit engagement or interruption.
Q: What electric lift truck models does the DS226687 contact kit fit?
A: The DS226687 contact kit fits multiple electric pallet jack, walkie rider, and sit-down lift truck models from Yale, Hyster, Crown, Toyota, Jungheinrich, and similar OEM manufacturers. Verify your truck model, year, and voltage system before ordering.
Q: What are common symptoms of worn electrical contacts?
A: Worn contacts cause intermittent function loss, functions that engage slowly or hesitantly, solenoids that buzz but fail to actuate, or loss of power to hydraulic pumps. If control buttons work inconsistently or require repeated pressing, contact replacement may be needed.
Q: What voltage rating does the DS226687 contact kit have?
A: Contact kit voltage ratings vary by lift truck model and system design. Confirm your truck voltage system (typically 24V, 48V, or 80V depending on truck type) before ordering. Do not install a contact kit rated for wrong voltage.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of electrical contacts on a lift truck?
A: Under typical warehouse operation, electrical contacts last 3-5 years before significant pitting and wear occur. High-cycle operations or exposure to moisture may reduce lifespan. Replace the DS226687 contact kit when you observe function loss or intermittent control issues.
