Product Description
SOLENOID (12 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment uses the 500218300 12-volt solenoid?
A: This 12-volt solenoid is compatible with electric pallet jacks and electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Jungheinrich, Linde, and BT. Verify your equipment voltage system before ordering, as solenoid voltage must match your battery voltage exactly.
Q: Can the 500218300 solenoid be used with 24-volt systems?
A: No. The 500218300 is rated for 12-volt operation only. Using a 12-volt solenoid on a 24-volt system will damage the solenoid coil. Always verify your equipment voltage before ordering replacement solenoids.
Q: What is the function of the 500218300 solenoid in electric lift trucks?
A: The solenoid controls hydraulic or pump circuits for lift and lower functions. The solenoid coil energizes to trigger valve movement, allowing current flow through the circuit. A faulty solenoid results in no lift response or intermittent operation.
Q: How do you diagnose a failed 500218300 solenoid?
A: Symptoms of solenoid failure include no response when lift buttons are pressed, humming sound without movement, or intermittent operation. Electrical testing with a multimeter can confirm coil continuity. Failed solenoids must be replaced.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of the 500218300 solenoid?
A: Solenoid lifespan ranges from 3 to 7 years depending on cycle frequency and operating conditions. Heavy-duty environments with frequent lift cycles shorten lifespan. Regular maintenance and clean electrical connections extend solenoid life.
