Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the CL 995179 contact kit used for?
A: The CL 995179 is a contact kit assembly for Clark electric lift trucks. It contains electrical contacts that manage power distribution and switching functions in the trucks control circuits. This kit is commonly used in steering or accelerator contactors to ensure proper electrical continuity during truck operation.
Q: Which Clark electric lift truck models use the CL 995179?
A: The CL 995179 contact kit fits multiple Clark electric lift truck generations. Verify your truck model, serial range, and voltage specification against the kit documentation before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific equipment.
Q: What materials are the contacts made from?
A: Clark contact kits typically use silver-alloy or copper-based contact materials rated for the trucks operating voltage and current load. These materials provide reliable conductivity and resistance to electrical arcing during normal switching cycles.
Q: How long does a contact kit typically last?
A: Contact kit lifespan depends on operating hours, switching frequency, and electrical load. In normal material handling environments, contact kits typically need replacement after 2,000 to 4,000 operating hours or when visible pitting, erosion, or electrical resistance issues develop.
Q: Are there equivalent contact kits from other manufacturers?
A: Cross-reference the CL 995179 with your equipment documentation. Equivalent contact kits from other suppliers must match the voltage, current rating, and physical dimensions. Verify replacement parts against your trucks original specifications.
