Product Description
SOLENOID (12 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage and amperage does the 12MP2212V solenoid operate at?
A: The 12MP2212V is a 12-volt DC solenoid designed for electric lift truck hydraulic and electrical systems. Exact amperage specifications depend on the specific application and manufacturer implementation. Verify your equipment documentation or the original solenoid label for precise amperage ratings before ordering replacement.
Q: Which electric lift truck brands use the 12MP2212V solenoid?
A: The 12MP2212V is compatible with various electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from OEM manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster. Cross-reference your equipment serial number or OEM part catalog to confirm fitment before purchasing.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of a 12V solenoid in material handling equipment?
A: A 12V solenoid typically lasts 2000 to 5000 operating hours in standard warehouse conditions. Lifespan depends on cycle frequency, voltage stability, contamination in hydraulic fluid, and ambient temperature. Solenoids in high-cycle environments or cold storage may require replacement sooner.
Q: What are common failure symptoms that indicate a 12MP2212V solenoid needs replacement?
A: Symptoms of solenoid failure include lift or lower functions not responding, intermittent hydraulic operation, audible clicking without pump engagement, or inability to hold load. If the truck does not respond to control commands after checking battery voltage, the solenoid is a primary suspect and should be tested with a multimeter before replacement.
Q: Can the 12MP2212V replace a 24-volt solenoid?
A: No. Do not substitute a 12-volt solenoid for a 24-volt system or vice versa. Applying incorrect voltage will damage the solenoid coil and may cause electrical system failure. Always match the voltage rating exactly to your equipment specifications.
