No Drive

Hi, I have an old Clark CTM 12 S forklift just for very occasional use, and now although the batteries are charged fully, it won't drive forward or reverse, it does a little movement and stops, The lifting all works fine,
I have checked all the battery connections.
I have had it 3years and have not had this problem before
Thanks in advance for any help!
Regards Jon

HI Jon, I have seen this type of fault in this truck before and most of the time it is caused by faulty forward / reverse contact assemblies. It may be one or the other that is at fault but you should replace both at the same time as they are most likely the same age and if one is now ok it may well fail shortly after the other is replaced. Are there any fault codes on the dash. Hope this helps.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
