Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the CL 444085 solenoid valve control on Clark electric lift trucks?
A: The CL 444085 is an OEM Clark solenoid valve that controls hydraulic or pneumatic flow in the lift and tilt circuits of electric lift trucks. When the solenoid is energized, it opens or closes the valve to direct fluid pressure to the mast or control functions. It is a critical component for lift operation.
Q: What are the voltage and flow specifications for the CL 444085 solenoid valve?
A: The CL 444085 solenoid valve operates at the electrical voltage of your truck system, typically 24V, 36V, or 48V DC for Clark electric trucks. Flow rating and pressure specifications are calibrated to the hydraulic or pneumatic system on your equipment. Consult your truck documentation to confirm voltage and flow requirements before ordering.
Q: How do I know if the CL 444085 solenoid valve is failing?
A: Symptoms of a failing solenoid valve include slow or no lift response, inability to tilt the mast, hissing or noise from the valve area, or intermittent lift function. If the mast does not respond to the lift button or responds only occasionally, the CL 444085 solenoid may be stuck or coil may have failed.
Q: Are there equivalent or cross-reference part numbers for the CL 444085?
A: The CL 444085 is a proprietary Clark OEM solenoid valve with no published cross-reference numbers. It is not interchangeable with non-Clark equipment or aftermarket solenoids. Verify your truck model and serial range to confirm compatibility before ordering.
Q: What is the typical service life of a Clark CL 444085 solenoid valve?
A: Under normal warehouse duty, a solenoid valve typically functions for 4 to 8 years before the coil insulation degrades or internal spools accumulate contamination. In dusty or humid environments, lifespan may be shorter. Replace if the solenoid becomes slow to respond or fails to hold pressure.
