SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 306-1234 solenoid used for?
A: The 306-1234 is a 24-volt solenoid designed for electric lift truck control systems. It functions as an electromagnetic switch to engage lift, lower, or directional control circuits in powered material handling equipment.
Q: What voltage rating does the 306-1234 have?
A: The 306-1234 is rated for 24-volt DC operation. Verify your truck system voltage before ordering. Operating the solenoid at incorrect voltage will cause failure or equipment malfunction.
Q: What electric pallet jack and lift truck models use the 306-1234 solenoid?
A: The 306-1234 solenoid is compatible with 24-volt electric pallet jacks and lift trucks from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Confirm your specific model control system voltage and solenoid specifications before ordering.
Q: What symptoms indicate solenoid failure?
A: A failing solenoid causes loss of lift function, inability to lower the mast, directional control failure, or complete loss of power to control circuits. You may also hear rapid clicking sounds indicating the solenoid is energizing intermittently but not engaging fully.
Q: How long does a solenoid last in service?
A: Solenoid lifespan depends on frequency of cycling, load conditions, and electrical system maintenance. Regular inspection of battery charge and electrical connections extends solenoid life. A properly maintained solenoid performs reliably for years. Replace immediately if electrical actuation becomes intermittent or fails completely.
