Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is SKU 8730425 and what does it control?
A: SKU 8730425 is a 12VDC solenoid used in electric lift truck hydraulic transmission valve control systems. It provides electromagnetic actuation for hydraulic directional control valves on forklifts and pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar brands.
Q: What are the voltage and material specifications for the 8730425?
A: The 8730425 is rated for 12VDC operation. The body is constructed from aluminum alloy with an electroplated finish to resist corrosion in wet warehouse environments. The electroplated surface provides durability and aesthetic protection.
Q: Is the 8730425 solenoid suitable for 24V electric trucks?
A: No. The 8730425 is designed for 12VDC systems only. Using it on a 24VDC truck will cause solenoid failure and potential coil burnout. Verify your truck voltage before ordering.
Q: How does the aluminum alloy body benefit the 8730425?
A: Aluminum alloy provides lightweight construction while the electroplated finish resists oxidation and corrosion from moisture, oil residue, and cold storage environments. This extends solenoid life and maintains reliable electromagnetic performance.
Q: What symptoms indicate the 8730425 solenoid is failing?
A: Signs of solenoid failure include loss of hydraulic directional control, inability to raise or lower the mast, delayed valve response, or complete loss of lift function. Electrical noise or excessive heat from the solenoid coil also indicate malfunction.
