Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 800049929 solenoid used for?
A: The 800049929 is a 24-volt solenoid used in electric pallet jack lift and drive circuits. It converts electrical signals from the control switch into mechanical valve action, directing hydraulic or motor current to raise and lower the mast.
Q: What equipment is compatible with this 24-volt solenoid?
A: The 800049929 works with most 24-volt electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and powered hand trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Verify your equipment nameplate confirms 24-volt DC system before ordering.
Q: How do I know if the solenoid is failing?
A: Common failure symptoms include no response to lift or lower controls, clicking without movement, partial or weak lift response, continuous buzzing even when controls are released, or inability to hold the mast in raised position. These indicate coil burnout or stuck valve.
Q: What is the expected lifespan of a 24-volt solenoid?
A: A properly functioning 24-volt solenoid typically lasts 3 to 7 years depending on duty cycle and environment. High-frequency switching, moisture exposure, and sustained coil heating shorten lifespan. Annual inspection and continuity testing help predict failure.
Q: Can I use this solenoid as a direct replacement on my truck?
A: If your equipment is a 24-volt system, the 800049929 is a universal fit for most OEM solenoid applications. Cross-reference the voltage rating (24 VDC), coil resistance, and connector style with your original part to confirm compatibility.
Q: What maintenance extends solenoid lifespan?
A: Keep electrical connections clean and tight, avoid prolonged operation with stuck valves, ensure battery voltage stays within spec (24 volts nominal), and protect the solenoid from water and corrosive environments. Replace corroded terminals immediately to prevent coil damage.
