Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications for this GE contactor?
A: The GE 1C4482CTTA150AH136XN is rated for 150A continuous current with 24VDC coil voltage in SPST normally open configuration. This contactor is designed for heavy-duty power switching in electric forklifts and material handling equipment. Switching response and mechanical durability are optimized for frequent industrial cycling.
Q: Which electric lift truck types use this contactor?
A: This GE contactor is compatible with 24VDC electric forklifts, pallet jacks, stackers, and reach trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar OEM manufacturers. It provides main battery disconnect and primary power circuit control. Confirm your vehicle nameplate specifies 24VDC, 150A, and matches the GE part number series before ordering.
Q: How does the AH136XN variant differ from other 150A GE contactors?
A: The AH136XN designation indicates specific coil specifications, contact configuration, and mechanical construction optimized for the 136-series equipment platform. Substituting a different GE contactor variant (such as AA124XN) may result in incompatible coil performance or mechanical mounting issues. Always use the exact OEM part number specified in your vehicle service documentation.
Q: What are typical failure modes and replacement indicators?
A: Replace this contactor if contacts show pitting or erosion, if switching becomes sluggish or hesitant, if operating noise exceeds 30dBA, or if the coil fails to energize at 24VDC. High-amperage cycling causes contact wear; preventive replacement every 3-5 years under heavy use (20+ on/off cycles per shift) prevents unexpected downtime and safety hazards.
Q: How should I verify compatibility before purchasing?
A: Locate the main contactor on your vehicle and note the exact OEM part number from the unit label or the original equipment manual. Cross-reference with GE 1C4482CTTA150AH136XN to confirm electrical ratings (150A, 24VDC) and variant designation match. Verify mounting dimensions and terminal configuration are identical before ordering to ensure proper fitment.
