Forks Not Lifting

Our Komatsu has had issues all week that have been resolved. It ran today for 20 minutes then suddenly lost the lifting ability for the forks. Added fluid, but still no change. Let it sit, still no change. Any suggestions? (I don't have the model number available. Am looking for general suggestions only.

IT'S WORKING NOW!

It turned out that two things happened. First the chain drive got jammed and at the same time, a wire became disconnected.

Thanks for responding to my post so quickly. This is a great site and wish I would have found it sooner. Reading others' posts has been greatly helpful.
