Valve – RA1125006-02

Controlling the hydraulic oil that drives a lift truck's lift and auxiliary functions is the job of this Raymond valve, which directs, blocks, or regulates flow within the truck's hydraulic circuit. It works constantly under system pressure, and the precision of that control is what lets the truck lift, hold, and lower loads the way the operator commands. The valve is machined to a specific porting arrangement and flow rating so it fits the circuit it was designed around and meters oil at the intended rate.

Over a working life a valve wears internally, and the symptoms follow a pattern: it can leak past its seals, stick, chatter, or lose the crisp control it once had, letting a load drift or a function respond slowly. Any of those is the point to replace it, before the loss of control becomes a safety or productivity problem.

As an original Raymond component, it matches the porting, flow rating, and mounting the hydraulic circuit was built around, so it drops into the same location and ties into the same lines. Match the porting pattern and mounting to the valve being replaced, since valves that share a function can differ in flow rating and port layout.
