Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the voltage specification for the SOL-224 solenoid?
A: The SOL-224 is rated for 24-volt operation. Do not apply 12-volt power to the SOL-224, as the coil will not energize properly. Verify your lift truck electrical system is 24VDC before ordering.
Q: What equipment uses the SOL-224 solenoid?
A: The SOL-224 is designed for 24-volt electric lift trucks and industrial vehicles from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, and other OEM manufacturers. Confirm your equipment electrical system voltage and cross-reference the OEM part number before ordering.
Q: Can I upgrade a 12-volt lift truck to use the SOL-224?
A: No. The SOL-224 is a 24-volt component and cannot be installed in 12-volt lift truck systems. Electrical system conversion from 12 to 24 volts requires battery, charging system, and all electrical components to be replaced. Do not attempt to use 24-volt solenoids in 12-volt systems.
Q: What function does the SOL-224 perform in a 24-volt lift truck?
A: The SOL-224 controls hydraulic lift and lower functions and motor drive engagement in 24-volt electric lift truck systems. It switches power to hydraulic control solenoid valves and electric motor starters based on joystick control input.
Q: What should I check if the SOL-224 solenoid does not work?
A: First, verify 24VDC power is present at the solenoid terminals using a multimeter. Check that the supply voltage is within normal operating range (typically 23 to 25 VDC). Measure coil resistance to confirm the solenoid is not open or shorted. If power and coil resistance are normal but the solenoid does not energize, contact us for solenoid replacement or troubleshooting support.
