Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage does the 41-28018 solenoid operate at?
A: The 41-28018 solenoid is rated for 24 volts DC operation. This voltage is standard for hydraulic and pneumatic lift truck solenoid control circuits. Verify the truck electrical system matches 24V DC before ordering to avoid compatibility issues.
Q: Which lift truck brands use the 41-28018 solenoid?
A: The 41-28018 solenoid fits multiple electric lift truck models from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and similar OEM manufacturers. Cross-reference your truck model and year against the solenoid coil assembly specifications to confirm fitment. Serial number and equipment documentation provide the most accurate compatibility details.
Q: What are common failure symptoms for this solenoid?
A: Failure indicators include hydraulic functions not engaging when controls are activated, slow or weak hydraulic response, audible clicking without valve movement, or complete loss of control circuit voltage. Test coil continuity and resistance values to diagnose solenoid failure versus wiring or control module issues.
Q: How long does a 41-28018 solenoid typically last?
A: Solenoid lifespan depends on duty cycle, electrical load, and environment. In typical material handling applications, a solenoid provides 2000 to 5000 operating hours before failure. Frequent on-off cycling, moisture exposure, or voltage spikes reduce lifespan. Regular inspection of coil condition and electrical connections extends service life.
Q: Can the 41-28018 solenoid be used in cold storage or wet environments?
A: The 41-28018 is a standard solenoid suitable for controlled indoor warehouse conditions. Extended cold storage or high-moisture environments may accelerate coil corrosion and winding failure. Verify environmental ratings and consider protective coatings or enclosures if the truck operates in extreme conditions.
