Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage is the SOL-401 solenoid rated for?
A: The SOL-401 is a 24-volt solenoid designed for electric lift truck control systems operating on 24VDC circuits. Do not install this solenoid in 12VDC systems, as it will not function properly and may be damaged.
Q: What lift truck systems use 24-volt solenoids like the SOL-401?
A: 24-volt solenoids are used in higher-capacity electric lift trucks and systems that require reduced current draw compared to 12VDC equivalents. These systems are common in Crown, Toyota, Hyster, and other industrial lift truck models. Verify your equipment circuit voltage before ordering.
Q: How do I verify my lift truck uses 24VDC control circuits?
A: Check your lift truck documentation, the battery system specifications, and any labeling on existing solenoids or control components. Most lift trucks use either 12VDC or 24VDC systems, so confirm which system your equipment has before ordering the SOL-401.
Q: What is the difference between the SOL-401 (24V) and the 12-volt solenoids like SOL-225 and SOL-230?
A: The SOL-401 operates at 24VDC while SOL-225 and SOL-230 operate at 12VDC. These solenoids are not interchangeable. The voltage rating determines coil resistance, current draw, and control circuit requirements. Selecting the correct voltage is critical for proper operation and equipment safety.
