Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the A000012044 and what equipment does it fit?
A: The A000012044 is a 12VDC solenoid designed for electric lift truck hydraulic shift valve actuation in control assemblies. It is constructed with aluminum alloy body and electroplated finish for corrosion resistance in industrial environments. This solenoid is compatible with electric forklift and pallet jack control systems from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT equipment.
Q: What are the electrical and material specifications for the A000012044?
A: The A000012044 operates at 12VDC nominal voltage and features an aluminum alloy body with electroplated finish. The coil is designed for direct actuation of hydraulic shift valve spools in electric lift truck control circuits. This solenoid pulls in smoothly to engage valve spool movement for load shifting or lift function control.
Q: What are the OEM cross-reference part numbers for the A000012044?
A: The A000012044 has equivalent OEM part numbers A0000-12044 and CTA000012044 (Caterpillar Towmotor designation). If you are replacing a solenoid with a different part number in your control assembly, cross-reference carefully to ensure coil voltage, terminal configuration, and solenoid mounting match your application.
Q: What failure symptoms indicate the A000012044 solenoid needs replacement?
A: Replace the solenoid if your electric lift truck loses hydraulic shift function, lift function becomes erratic, or the control circuit does not respond to joystick or push-button commands. A failed solenoid coil will not energize or may energize but fail to move the valve spool, causing complete loss of shift or lift control.
