Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage rating for the 5049038-01 solenoid?
A: The 5049038-01 is a 24-volt solenoid designed for electric lift truck hydraulic and electrical circuits. Confirm your truck system uses 24-volt architecture before ordering. Using a 24-volt solenoid on a different voltage system will cause failure or damage.
Q: Which electric truck models and manufacturers use the 5049038-01 solenoid?
A: The 5049038-01 is a 24-volt solenoid compatible with various electric lift truck platforms from manufacturers including Yale, Crown, Raymond, Toyota, and Hyster. Verify your specific truck model and voltage system match before ordering. Cross-reference your equipment manual or original part number for confirmation.
Q: What function does the 5049038-01 solenoid perform on an electric lift truck?
A: Solenoids in lift trucks typically control hydraulic valve actuation, directing fluid flow for lift, lower, and tilt operations. The 5049038-01 acts as an electromagnetic switch that responds to electrical signals from the truck controls. Solenoid failure results in loss of hydraulic function and truck immobilization.
Q: What symptoms indicate the 5049038-01 solenoid is failing?
A: Common failure symptoms include slow or no response to lift/lower/tilt commands, audible clicking without hydraulic action, intermittent function that works sometimes but not reliably, or complete loss of one truck function. If electrical power reaches the solenoid but hydraulic movement does not occur, the solenoid likely requires replacement.
Q: How long does a solenoid like the 5049038-01 typically last?
A: Solenoid lifespan depends on voltage stability, electrical load cycling, and environmental conditions like moisture exposure. In normal warehouse operations, a well-maintained 24-volt solenoid may function for several years. Frequent electrical surges, corrosion, or high-cycle applications can reduce lifespan significantly. Regular diagnostic checks help identify failing solenoids before complete failure.
