Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 0656404-00 solenoid used for in electric lift trucks?
A: The 0656404-00 is a 24-volt solenoid that controls hydraulic or pneumatic valve operation in electric lift truck systems. It is typically used to direct fluid flow for lifting, lowering, and tilt functions. The solenoid converts electrical control signals into mechanical valve actuation.
Q: Which lift truck models use the 0656404-00 24-volt solenoid?
A: This 24-volt solenoid is compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar manufacturers. Verify your equipment model, serial range, and system voltage before ordering. Using the wrong voltage solenoid will result in equipment malfunction or damage.
Q: What symptoms indicate the solenoid is failing?
A: Replace the solenoid if you observe slow or sluggish lift and lower response, erratic valve operation, failure to achieve full lift height, or audible clicking without valve actuation. These symptoms indicate internal coil failure, stuck plunger, or lost electrical continuity.
Q: Is the 0656404-00 a direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) solenoid?
A: The 0656404-00 is a direct current (DC) 24-volt solenoid designed for electric lift truck systems. Do not connect this solenoid to AC power. Always verify system voltage and solenoid specification before replacement.
Q: What is the typical lifespan of a solenoid in electric lift truck service?
A: In normal industrial use with proper electrical protection, a solenoid typically lasts 5-7 years. Lifespan is reduced by voltage spikes, contaminated hydraulic fluid, mechanical stuck conditions, or excessive duty cycles. Protection by diodes and proper hydraulic maintenance extends solenoid life.
Q: Can I cross-reference the 0656404-00 to another manufacturers part number?
A: The 0656404-00 is an OEM-equivalent 24-volt solenoid. Cross-references depend on your specific lift truck brand and model. Contact us directly with your equipment information and we can identify equivalent part numbers or superseding alternatives.
