Product Description
SOLENOID (24 VOLT)
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage and amperage does the SY98416 solenoid operate at?
A: The SY98416 is a 24-volt solenoid designed for lift truck hydraulic systems. Verify amperage draw specifications match your trucks electrical system before ordering. This solenoid is commonly used in Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and Yale electric lift trucks built within the last 15 years.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the SY98416 solenoid?
A: The SY98416 is compatible with multiple electric pallet jack and lift truck platforms from major OEM manufacturers. Cross-reference your truck model and serial range against the solenoid mounting connection type and voltage rating. If you have your truck specifications, confirm the part number matches your original equipment documentation.
Q: What are the failure symptoms of a defective SY98416 solenoid?
A: Common failure indicators include loss of hydraulic lift function, intermittent raising or lowering, clicking without actuation, or complete electrical non-response. A faulty solenoid will prevent normal valve operation even when the motor and battery are functional. Testing with a multimeter for continuity and voltage draw can confirm solenoid failure versus circuit issues.
Q: How long does an SY98416 solenoid typically last in service?
A: Solenoid lifespan typically ranges from 3 to 7 years depending on duty cycle and environmental conditions. Frequent use, moisture exposure, and extreme temperature fluctuations accelerate wear on the coil windings and plunger mechanism. Regular maintenance of hydraulic fluid cleanliness extends solenoid life by reducing internal contamination.
Q: Is the SY98416 a direct replacement for other solenoid part numbers?
A: Cross-reference your existing solenoid part number to confirm compatibility. While the SY98416 serves multiple lift truck applications, direct replacement requires matching voltage, coil resistance, connector type, and mounting specifications. Do not assume interchangeability without verifying against original equipment documentation.
