Starter solenoids play a key role in managing the electrical supply within tail lift systems, particularly during motor start-up and high-current operation. They act as a controlled switching device, allowing power to flow safely from the battery to the motor when required.
This category includes genuine OEM starter solenoids, manufactured to original specifications for current handling capacity, durability, and reliable switching performance. Correct solenoid selection is essential — incorrectly rated or incompatible solenoids can cause intermittent operation, overheating, or complete system failure.
Starter solenoids are subject to electrical load, vibration, and environmental conditions, which can lead to wear or internal contact degradation over time. Symptoms of a failing solenoid may include inconsistent motor operation, clicking noises, or failure to engage under load. Replacing a faulty solenoid promptly helps restore reliable system performance and prevents secondary damage to motors or wiring.
Parts For Tail Lifts supplies starter solenoids suitable for a wide range of tail lift systems, including both current and legacy installations. Many solenoids are held in stock and available for next working day delivery when ordered before 4pm*, subject to availability. Where identification is required, our experienced parts advisors can assist with selecting the correct solenoid based on system details or electrical specifications.
Using genuine starter solenoids helps ensure dependable electrical performance and long-term reliability.
