HI Everyone,

I have a problem with my CAT F50D electric forklift, it does not have any torque or significant power when setting off or on an incline, it will attempt to move then lock out, sometimes flashing the number 3 on the LED display, sometimes 7. initial tests are showing the battery as ok, has anybody else had a similar fault?

P.S if used on a flat level surface it will move off and speed up as normal, it is just when any guts are demanded from it, it cuts out!!

Thanks in advance Kye

Fact of the week
Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
