Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What electric lift trucks is the 3132337 solenoid compatible with?
A: The 3132337 is a 12VDC electromagnetic solenoid designed for electric lift trucks with 12-volt hydraulic control systems. It is compatible with equipment from brands including Crown, Toyota, Hyster, Raymond, and Jungheinrich that use this voltage and solenoid form factor. Verify your equipment specifications match before ordering.
Q: What does this solenoid do in the hydraulic transmission?
A: The 3132337 controls the direction of hydraulic flow for gear shifting in electric forklift transmissions. It directly actuates the transmission shift valves, allowing the operator to transition between forward, reverse, and neutral. Without a functioning solenoid, the transmission cannot shift properly.
Q: What material is the 3132337 solenoid body made from?
A: The body is constructed from aluminum alloy with an electroplated finish. This material composition provides lightweight strength, corrosion resistance, and heat dissipation during extended operation. The electroplating protects the aluminum from oxidation and moisture damage.
Q: What voltage does the 3132337 solenoid require?
A: The 3132337 operates on 12VDC (12-volt direct current). It is not compatible with 24-volt or higher-voltage systems. Supplying incorrect voltage will damage the solenoid coil and may cause electrical system failure. Always verify your lift truck uses 12VDC before ordering.
Q: What symptoms indicate the 3132337 solenoid is failing?
A: Failing symptoms include the transmission not shifting into gear, harsh or delayed shifting, grinding noise during gear changes, or transmission remaining stuck in one gear. You may also observe an error code on the truck display. Replace the solenoid immediately to prevent transmission damage.
Q: How long does a 3132337 solenoid typically last?
A: Under normal operating conditions, the 3132337 solenoid typically provides 5 to 8 years of service. Lifespan depends on duty cycle, exposure to moisture and vibration, and electrical load. Frequent shifting or high ambient temperatures may reduce service life.
