Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of switch is the CT 215965?
A: The CT 215965 is an operator control switch for Caterpillar electric lift trucks. This switch typically controls motor enable, direction, or load functions in the lift system. Confirm your specific application in the truck documentation.
Q: What voltage rating does the CT 215965 have?
A: The CT 215965 is rated for use in 24-volt DC or 48-volt DC systems depending on the equipment model. Verify the voltage of your electric lift truck before ordering. Installing an incorrectly rated switch will cause failure and safety hazards.
Q: Is the CT 215965 interchangeable with other switch models?
A: The CT 215965 is specific to Caterpillar equipment. Do not substitute it with aftermarket or generic switches without verifying electrical specifications and connector compatibility. Use OEM or equivalent cross-reference parts only.
Q: What maintenance does the CT 215965 switch require?
A: Keep the switch clean and dry. Periodically inspect the electrical connector for corrosion. If the switch fails to engage or respond intermittently, it requires replacement. Do not attempt to repair sealed switches.
Q: How do I know if the CT 215965 needs replacement?
A: Failure symptoms include lack of motor response, intermittent function, or stuck switches. If the truck does not respond to operator control input, the CT 215965 is a likely culprit. Test the circuit voltage before replacement to confirm switch failure.
