No power

The above model number is not quite correct its GLC040AFNUAV061.
The unit starts right up and the hydraulics seem to work great, but it doesn't have any power. It almost acts like the brake is on, but it isn't. It lugs down as soon as you try and go forward. It will limp along in reverse, but even that is slow.

The brake doesn't appear stuck, but I guess it sure could be. Does the brake work on the rear wheels or the drive wheels? Thanks for the help!

My car mechanic as coming over tomorrow t o look at the forklift, and I'll show this to him. He's pretty handy, but I don't know if he knows much about forklifts. Thanks for the suggestion.

This can happen if the stator support is broken. Basically you loose the torque multiplication in the converter. How does the engine react under hydraulic load?

Are you sure the parking brake isn't stuck on. You could jack it up and see if the wheels spin without starting it.
