Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the AL 2180-26 fixed contact and what function does it serve?
A: The AL 2180-26 is a fixed contact element for Albright DC contactor assemblies used in electric lift trucks. It serves as the stationary contact point in the contactor switching mechanism, providing reliable electrical connection for drive or lift circuits.
Q: Is the AL 2180-26 a complete kit or a single component?
A: The AL 2180-26 is a single fixed contact component, not a complete kit. It may be ordered individually if only one contact element requires replacement, or as part of a larger contact kit assembly depending on your maintenance needs.
Q: Which lift trucks use the AL 2180-26 fixed contact?
A: The AL 2180-26 is compatible with Albright contactor assemblies found in electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM brands that utilize Albright DC contactor technology. Verify your contactor model number for proper fitment.
Q: What symptoms indicate the AL 2180-26 contact needs replacement?
A: Worn fixed contacts produce intermittent electrical faults, hesitant contactor engagement, visible pitting on the contact surface, or arcing marks. If your lift truck exhibits sluggish drive or lift response, a damaged fixed contact may be the root cause.
Q: What material is the AL 2180-26 contact made from?
A: The AL 2180-26 is fabricated from silver alloy material, which provides excellent electrical conductivity and superior arc resistance for reliable DC switching in high-current lift truck applications.
