Raymond Ignition Switch – RA828-013-664

Keyless operator access is what sets this Raymond ignition switch apart, controlling who can start a Raymond electric forklift without a physical key, typically through a proximity card or a PIN entry system in place of a mechanical cylinder. Access is granted through the card or code tied to the switch, which is why keyless control is common on modern warehouse fleets: it removes the job of tracking physical keys across a shift and makes it straightforward to restrict which operators can start which trucks.

At a listed weight of 0.262 pounds, this is a compact panel-mounted component, consistent with an electronic switch rather than a heavy mechanical key cylinder. Because a keyless switch integrates with the truck's access-control wiring rather than acting as a simple mechanical part, it depends on the right electrical connection to function, not just the right physical opening.

Match the switch's connector type and its mounting panel cutout to the unit being replaced, since electronic access components can differ in wiring configuration even within the same product category, and both the connection and the panel opening have to line up for the switch to seat and operate.
