Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the electrical specifications for the 3038466 24V solenoid?
A: The 3038466 is a 24VDC solenoid rated at 50 AMP for FPE model electric lift trucks and 100 AMP for Motofork model lift trucks. Verify your equipment model and current draw before ordering to ensure correct amperage rating.
Q: Which electric lift truck models is the 3038466 solenoid compatible with?
A: The 3038466 is designed for FPE and Motofork brand electric lift trucks with 24VDC hydraulic control systems. Different amperage versions are available for each model. Confirm your control system voltage and amperage before ordering.
Q: What does the 3038466 solenoid do in an electric lift truck?
A: The 3038466 solenoid is an electromagnetic valve that controls hydraulic flow to the lift cylinders. When energized by the truck controls, it opens or closes to direct hydraulic pressure and allow precise load raising and lowering.
Q: What are the failure symptoms of the 3038466 solenoid?
A: Failed solenoids prevent hydraulic flow and cause loss of lift or lower function. Symptoms include no response when control buttons are pressed, intermittent operation, audible clicking without hydraulic response, or stuck valve spools. Test voltage at the solenoid terminals to diagnose electrical failures.
Q: How long does the 3038466 solenoid last in service?
A: With proper electrical maintenance and clean hydraulic fluid, the solenoid typically lasts 5 to 8 years. Contaminated hydraulic fluid, voltage spikes, incorrect amperage rating, or corrosion at electrical connections reduce solenoid lifespan. Replace if internal spool sticks or valve does not respond to power.
Q: What is the difference between the 50 AMP and 100 AMP versions of the 3038466?
A: The amperage rating matches the hydraulic control system capacity of different truck models. FPE lift trucks use the 50 AMP version while Motofork models require the 100 AMP version. Using the wrong amperage rating will result in inadequate or excessive solenoid response and control issues.
