Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 2I3272 solenoid actuator used for in electric lift trucks?
A: The 2I3272 is a Caterpillar electromagnetic solenoid actuator designed for electrical control systems in industrial lift trucks. It operates at 24VDC nominal and functions as an OEM component in hydraulic or electrical switching circuits. It is commonly found in steering, brake, or load control applications depending on the lift truck model.
Q: What are the cross-reference part numbers for the 2I3272?
A: The 2I3272 has an alternate part number designation of 2I-3272. The cross-reference part number is SK-18240215JE. When ordering replacement components, verify that the cross-reference matches your equipment electrical diagram to ensure correct fitment.
Q: Is the 2I3272 compatible with non-Caterpillar lift trucks?
A: The 2I3272 is an OEM Caterpillar component. Compatibility with other brands such as Toyota, Crown, Raymond, or Yale depends on whether your equipment uses the same electrical control architecture and 24VDC solenoid interface. Verify the cross-reference number SK-18240215JE against your equipment specifications before ordering.
Q: What voltage rating does the 2I3272 require?
A: The 2I3272 is rated for 24VDC nominal operation. Operating it at voltages significantly above or below this rating will reduce coil life and may cause component failure. Always verify your lift truck charging system output and electrical control module settings match this specification.
Q: What symptoms indicate the 2I3272 solenoid may be failing?
A: Common failure symptoms include slow or hesitant steering response, intermittent brake engagement, erratic load control behavior, or audible chattering when the solenoid energizes. These signs suggest coil degradation, internal contact wear, or electrical connection issues. Electrical testing with a multimeter can confirm solenoid resistance and continuity.
