Hi.

I have a full electric forklift with a small issue.

Hydraulics work perfectly.

But it will not drive back and forward.

When I restart I can make the relays move when engaging back and forth, but when I press the accelerator it perhaps moves a little or a meter/yard or none at all and then stops. The relays do not move again before I have restarted.

I looked at brushes in the drive motor and they appear to bo good.

I thought that I had fixed the problem yesterday when I fiddled with the brake switch - moving it up and down - which seemed to cure the problem and make the truck drive perfectly for 10 minutes of testing.

Next morning the problem was back and I was not able to replicate the "fix".

Hope that someone has a good idea :-)

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.
