RA 1-105-216-01

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the RA 1-105-216-01 Contact Tip Kit contain?
A: The RA 1-105-216-01 is a contact tip replacement kit used to restore worn or damaged contactor contact surfaces on Raymond electric lift trucks. This kit contains replacement contact tips that bolt or rivet into existing contactor assemblies to extend equipment life without requiring a full contactor replacement.

Q: Which Raymond lift truck models does the RA 1-105-216-01 fit?
A: Verify compatibility by checking your contactor assembly model number and coil voltage rating against your truck documentation. This contact tip kit is designed for contactors used across multiple Raymond series. Contact us with your specific equipment model and serial number to confirm fitment.

Q: What signs indicate that contact tips need replacement?
A: Replace contact tips when you observe arcing, pitting, or burning marks on the contact surfaces, reduced electrical conductivity causing voltage drop, erratic directional control response, or burnt smell during truck operation. These symptoms indicate the contactor contacts are worn and losing contact pressure.

Q: How long do contact tips typically last?
A: Contact tip lifespan depends on duty cycle and electrical load. In normal warehouse operation, tips typically last 2 to 5 years. Frequent start-stop cycles, overloads, or operation in wet conditions accelerate wear. Regular inspection of contactor contacts helps identify wear before complete failure occurs.
