Discussion:
Not moving or raising forks but has full charge

Ran into an issue recently with my electric CAT forklift. Used it all morning then plugged it in to charge. I came back and it had a full charge but it would not move in forward or reverse. The forks would not raise or lower either but they would tilt forward and backward and go left/right. Also when I turn the forklift on everything on the panel lights up correctly showing the charge and all that but a constant beeping noise now sounds that had not previously been sounding off.
Any tips or ideas?

if there are any errors/faults they should be showing up on the dash display by fault code and maybe accompanied with an associated icon.
when starting the lift make sure the park brake is set, you are on the seat and the seat belt fastened, maybe even depress the brake pedal while turning on.
By your description that there are no main functions, only accessory functions are working it should be showing a fault code when you try to operate it.

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.
