Product Description
SOLENOID (36 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage does the IE-4000 solenoid operate at?
A: The IE-4000 is a 36-volt solenoid for electric lift truck hydraulic and brake control systems. Do not install on 24-volt or 48-volt systems without voltage verification.
Q: What is the function of a solenoid in electric lift trucks?
A: Solenoids are electromagnetic actuators that control hydraulic valve operation. In lift trucks, they activate raise/lower circuits, brake engagement, and directional controls based on electrical signals from the operator control system.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use 36-volt solenoids like the IE-4000?
A: 36-volt solenoids are used in specific electric lift truck designs from Crown, Hyster, Yale, and Raymond. Verify your equipment voltage system before ordering, as voltage mismatch prevents proper solenoid function.
Q: What are signs that the IE-4000 solenoid needs replacement?
A: Solenoid failure symptoms include hydraulic function not responding to control input, slow or delayed actuation, buzzing sounds during activation, or complete loss of raise/lower or brake functions. Coil burnout and valve sticking are typical failure modes.
