Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the LP393-8216 LMS switch control?
A: The LP393-8216 is a load moment switch (LMS) that monitors the load weight and moment on electric lift trucks. It cuts power to the lift circuit if weight exceeds safe limits, preventing tipovers and overload conditions.
Q: What electric lift truck models use the LP393-8216?
A: The LP393-8216 is compatible with Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric reach trucks and walkie stackers equipped with load-sensing systems. Verify your model and load rating before ordering.
Q: Why would the LP393-8216 stop responding?
A: Failure symptoms include the lift circuit not cutting off when load limits are exceeded, erratic shutdowns at normal loads, or complete loss of load-sensing function. A faulty LMS switch can create overload and safety hazards.
Q: What voltage does the LP393-8216 operate at?
A: The LP393-8216 LMS switch operates on 24 or 36-volt DC systems standard in electric lift trucks. Confirm your equipment voltage matches this component specification.
Q: How often should the LP393-8216 be tested?
A: Load moment switches should be tested according to your preventive maintenance schedule, typically every 6 to 12 months depending on usage. Regular testing ensures the safety cutoff function operates correctly and prevents overload incidents.
