Hi,

So I am a novice when it comes to forklifts. We have a propane and electric one. Propane I can figure how to work on. Electric - I am lost!

Our warehouse guy was unloading a container and suddenly no forward or reverse.
Some items I know
model erc040acn365e08
serial K533906

When we put it in forward or reverse, it does make the single click like it was put in that motion.
The battery meter shows pretty much full. Battery is old, but had not been giving us any issues as we do not use it much.
I checked the connections, they seem fine.
I looked at the brake, and from what I can tell when you step on the brake, what I am guessing is the master cylinder on the wall behind the dash, the poll on the bottom does not move.

Any suggestions?

I looked at the brake thinking that this may think it is stuck on stop, but once again, novice here.

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.
