Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the CT 97104-08111 strobe light used for?
A: The CT 97104-08111 is a strobe light (warning beacon) for electric lift trucks. It provides visual warning and alerts nearby personnel when the truck is moving, turning, reversing, or operating in low-visibility conditions. Strobe lights are critical safety components in warehouse and facility environments.

Q: Which lift truck brands and models does this strobe light fit?
A: The CT 97104-08111 is designed for Caterpillar and Mitsubishi electric lift trucks. These brands share compatible wiring and mounting specifications for this strobe beacon. Verify your equipment make and model match Caterpillar or Mitsubishi specifications before ordering to ensure proper fitment and electrical compatibility.

Q: What voltage does the CT 97104-08111 strobe light operate at?
