Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage rating for SKU 3053568 solenoid?
A: SKU 3053568 is a 24 volt solenoid designed for DC electric circuits in material handling equipment. This voltage is standard for electric pallet jack and lift truck control systems.
Q: Which electric pallet jack and lift truck models use the 3053568 solenoid?
A: The 3053568 solenoid is compatible with electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, and Hyster models equipped with 24 volt DC control systems. Verify the mounting configuration, terminal type, and amperage draw match your specific equipment before ordering.
Q: What are common failure symptoms of a solenoid in electric material handling equipment?
A: Solenoid failure typically presents as: equipment does not respond to lift or lower commands, intermittent operation that requires multiple button presses, clicking sounds from the solenoid without motor engagement, or complete loss of pump or hoist function. These symptoms indicate the solenoid plunger is stuck or the coil has lost continuity.
Q: How long does a solenoid typically last in electric material handling equipment?
A: A 24 volt solenoid in a well-maintained electric pallet jack typically lasts 3 to 7 years depending on duty cycle, voltage stability, and frequency of operation. Heavy-use equipment may see solenoid failure within 2 to 3 years. Operating the equipment outside the 24 volt specification window accelerates coil and plunger wear.
Q: What materials and construction does the 3053568 solenoid use?
A: The 3053568 is constructed with a copper wire coil wrapped around an iron core, a movable steel plunger, and brass or stainless steel terminals. The coil is sealed against moisture to prevent corrosion and short circuits. This sealed construction extends service life in humid or wet material handling environments.
