Is it a three wheel truck?
On the old type three wheeled Cat EP forklifts there are two changeover direction contactors one for each drive motor. One is normally in forward and the other is normally in reverse, so if the contactor that is normally closed in reverse is not operating then that motor will only run in reverse.
