Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 7004163 Clark OEM switch and what are its specifications?
A: CL 7004163 is a Clark OEM electric lift truck key switch rated for 24VDC control circuits. It is a 2-position maintained switch with panel-mount configuration. The body is constructed from glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic for durability in material handling environments.
Q: Which Clark electric forklifts are compatible with CL 7004163?
A: CL 7004163 is compatible with select Clark electric forklifts. Cross-reference part numbers include 7004042, 896614, and 2809875. Verify your specific equipment model and serial range to confirm compatibility before ordering, as fitment varies across Clark product generations.
Q: What is the difference between CL 7004163 and its cross-reference parts 7004042, 896614, and 2809875?
A: CL 7004163, 7004042, 896614, and 2809875 are cross-reference part numbers that are functionally equivalent switches for use in Clark electric lift trucks. They share the same electrical ratings (24VDC), mechanical configuration (2-position maintained), and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic construction. Use these interchangeably if your equipment documentation references any of these numbers.
Q: What material is the CL 7004163 switch body and why does it matter?
A: The CL 7004163 switch body is constructed from glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic. This material provides mechanical strength, electrical insulation, and resistance to vibration and impact common in forklift control circuits. The reinforced thermoplastic resists cracking and maintains dimensional stability across operating temperature ranges.
Q: Can CL 7004163 be used in applications other than Clark electric forklifts?
A: CL 7004163 is engineered and rated for 24VDC control circuits in material handling equipment. While the electrical specifications and mechanical design are standard for electric lift truck applications, compatibility with non-Clark equipment requires verification of voltage, mounting configuration, and control circuit requirements. Contact us with your equipment specifications if you are unsure about fitment outside Clark electric forklifts.
