Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the red housing color indicate on the CR 78723-7 connector?
A: The red housing on the CR 78723-7 indicates a 175 amp connector rating. Crown electric lift trucks use color-coded housings to help technicians identify the amperage capacity at a glance.
Q: What is the amperage rating for the CR 78723-7?
A: The CR 78723-7 is rated for 175 amps continuous. This part is the main battery connector interface in Crown electric lift trucks supporting up to 36VDC applications.
Q: Which other Crown connector housings are compatible with a 175 amp system?
A: The CR 78723-2 (gray housing, 175 amps) and CR 78723-8 (blue housing, 175 amps) are also rated for 175 amps. These may be used in different Crown truck series. Verify your truck model and housing color before ordering the correct part.
Q: What material is the CR 78723-7 housing constructed from?
