Cat Lift Trucks V50D

Hi All, I have recently acquired a Cat V50 diesel which starts well and runs ok on the flat (although not with much speed) but as soon as it has any load on it or you try to drive up an incline it won't drive, if you keep the engine speed up it will inch its way sometimes, its the same in both fwd & rev. have checked the transmission oil level and its ok & clean. Any ideas??
Thanks
Ian

Your lucky you have a diesel powered unit, the gas and LP are worse when climbing ramps! Either live with it or switch to a different model.
You will save yourself a lot of grief, I sold Cat Lift Trucks when those were new, even the high performance (SA) were dogs. The only model that even came close to the Nissan or Toyota was the V40D with a Diesel, sold to a die hard Cat customer.
