Replace the old controller of a truck with a Curtis controller

I would like to know if I can replace the old (damaged) controller of an electric forklift truck or pallet truck, with a new one (Curtis or else). Of coarse I have to change all the wiring, the potensiometer e.t.c. But the question is if there is compatibility between a new Curtis sepex controller with the existing traction motor of the truck and if this is a reliable solution at the end... Do you know if there is a good provider for those controllers?

The first part of the question reguarding upgading old to new is somthing that can be done , for example you could take an old EV-100 system , and replace it with a curtis 1104 , it would take some time but it would work.

sepex motors require a sepex controller. a/c motors require an A/C controller. series wound motors require a series wound motor controller.
the brand is not as important as the way it works.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
