Product Description
SOLENOID (12 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What equipment does the CK896553 12-volt solenoid fit?
A: The CK896553 is a 12-volt solenoid designed for electric lift trucks and material handling equipment from major OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, and Raymond. Before ordering, verify your trucks electrical system voltage to ensure proper compatibility.
Q: Can I use the CK896553 if my equipment originally had a 24-volt solenoid?
A: No. The CK896553 is rated strictly for 12-volt systems. Installing a 12-volt solenoid into a 24-volt system will cause immediate failure and potential electrical damage. Check your truck documentation or existing solenoid label for the correct voltage before ordering.
Q: What are typical failure symptoms that indicate I need to replace the solenoid?
A: Common failure symptoms include the truck not responding to lift or lower commands, intermittent loss of hydraulic function, clicking sounds from the solenoid assembly when controls are activated, or complete loss of power to the hydraulic circuit. These indicate the solenoid coil or internal contacts have failed.
Q: What is the lifespan of the CK896553 solenoid?
A: A properly functioning solenoid typically lasts 3 to 5 years under normal operating conditions. Lifespan depends on cycle frequency, environmental conditions (dust, moisture, temperature extremes), and whether the truck receives regular maintenance. Heavy-use environments may see reduced lifespan.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers I should know about?
A: The CK896553 may be cross-referenced with equivalent 12-volt solenoids from Crown, Toyota, and Raymond under their respective OEM part numbering. When ordering, provide your truck model and serial number so we can confirm exact compatibility and any equivalent part numbers.
