Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the SW200-419 a direct replacement for my electric lift truck contactor?
A: The SW200-419 is a 24-volt contactor compatible with electric lift trucks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Jungheinrich, and similar OEM brands. It is a direct replacement only if your truck originally used this specific SKU or an equivalent OEM part. Always verify the original part number and truck model to confirm fitment before purchase.
Q: What happens when a contactor fails on an electric lift truck?
A: A failed contactor prevents the motor from receiving power, causing complete loss of lift and lower function. The truck may appear dead or show only a clicking sound with no motor engagement. In some cases, contacts weld together, causing the motor to run continuously or lock in one position. Immediate replacement prevents secondary damage to the motor or battery system.
Q: Can I use the SW200-419 as a replacement on multiple lift truck models?
A: The SW200-419 fits lift trucks that specified this exact part number. While many OEM brands use similar 24-volt contactors, each SKU is engineered for a specific solenoid coil resistance and contact rating. Cross-using incompatible contactors will cause the solenoid to pull in too slowly or too quickly, leading to poor contact engagement and early failure. Verify SKU compatibility for your exact truck model.
Q: How do I identify the contactor on my lift truck if I cannot find documentation?
A: The contactor is usually mounted on or near the controller box under the lift truck platform. It is a rectangular plastic or metal box with one solenoid coil on top, two or more large terminals for battery and motor connections, and multiple smaller terminals for the control circuit. If you can provide the truck manufacturer, model, year, and serial number, we can cross-reference the correct contactor SKU for you.
Q: What material and durability specifications does the SW200-419 meet?
A: The SW200-419 uses heavy-duty silver alloy contacts rated for repetitive 24V DC motor switching. The coil is encapsulated to resist moisture and vibration. These materials are selected for warehouse and industrial lift truck duty cycles. Expected lifespan ranges from 3 to 8 years depending on duty intensity and environmental conditions.
