Mitsubishi 1440102440 BOOT SWITCH for FB10-FB18 Forklifts

Overview

The 1440102440 BOOT SWITCH is a Mitsubishi-brand replacement switch for the FB10-FB18 CA series of electric counterbalance forklifts. Typically installed under a protective boot in the operator compartment, it forms part of the truck’s operator presence and interlock system, telling the control system that the operator is correctly positioned before travel and hydraulic functions are enabled.

When a boot switch wears out or fails, common symptoms include intermittent travel faults, warning indicators, or a truck that refuses to move. Fitting a new Mitsubishi 1440102440 BOOT SWITCH restores dependable switching and helps keep your trucks safe and productive.

Compatibility

This switch fits the Mitsubishi FB10-FB18 CA series electric counterbalance forklifts, covering both model families in the range:

• FB10(H)CA1(J) to FB18(H)CA1(J) series
• FB10CA to FB18CA series

Together these cover the 1.0, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.8 tonne capacity variants of the series, so the 1440102440 for FB10(H)CA1(J) is the same part needed for an FB14CA, FB15CA or FB18CA truck. Always confirm the model and serial number on your truck’s chassis plate before ordering. If your application calls for a superseded or alternative reference number, our parts specialists can help verify the correct match.

Quality and Reliability

As a Mitsubishi-brand spare part, the 1440102440 BOOT SWITCH is produced to the original design specification for these trucks. That means correct dimensions, connector type and actuation characteristics, so the switch works with the truck’s existing wiring and control system without modification. A protected housing and stable contact performance help the switch cope with the dust, moisture and vibration of everyday warehouse and yard operation, cycle after cycle.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Isolate the truck and disconnect the battery before starting any electrical work.
• Access the switch in the operator compartment and remove the protective boot or retaining hardware as required.
• Label or photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old switch so reconnection is straightforward.
• Inspect connectors and cable insulation for corrosion or damage and repair as needed.
• After installation, test the interlock function to confirm travel is only enabled with the operator in position.
• During routine service, check the surrounding boot and floor area for tears or debris build-up that can affect switch actuation.

If you are not experienced with forklift electrical systems, have the part fitted by a qualified technician.
