Crown MT20 electrically dead mid lift

So I had an operator lift an overweight pallet with this Crown MT20 walkie stacker. As soon as he hit the second stage of the mast the unit died and smoke was generated. I don't understand why this killed the whole unit. Is there a master fuse anywhere? Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks! Mikey

There is no fuse for the lift motor on this model of lift. Most likely you burned out the lift/hydraulic motor. If it was an over weight that would explain why the whole unit it was killed. It is possible that the batteries are also experiencing issues after drawing too much amperage or there is additional damage inside the lift.
The weight limit on forklifts is something that should never be exceeded. More modern lifts have better protections, but these older models do not have many protections at all.

Fact of the week
Sourdough bread contains Lactobacillus reuteri, a probiotic bacteria. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, these bacteria can travel from the mother's colon to her breast tissue and be passed to the infant through breast milk. It offers various health benefits, including potential protection against breast cancer.

"Unicarriers - it would have to be for a dual fuel unit also. Usually a bad cam or crankshaft sensor will throw a E-27 or a E-28 code on the dash panel... If it does not light up and the bulb is bad then it will not start also."
