Cat Lift Trucks (& Caterpillar) F50D:
cuts out on incline or under demand

HI Everyone,

I have a problem with my CAT F50D electric forklift, it does not have any torque or significant power when setting off or on an incline, it will attempt to move then lock out, sometimes flashing the number 3 on the LED display, sometimes 7. initial tests are showing the battery as ok, has anybody else had a similar fault?

P.S if used on a flat level surface it will move off and speed up as normal, it is just when any guts are demanded from it, it cuts out!!

Thanks in advance Kye
