Traction “stutters”

Hello to all.
Costumer calls complaining with several issues.When going forward or backwards slowly the truck starts moving jerkily but keeping depressing the pedals its running fine. If depressing the brake pedal when moving the truck brakes abruptly and lowering the mast when moving slowly the forks wont descend smothly.
Have measured the feed pressure in the filter and got 24 bars idling in neutral but drops to 10/12 bars when making the described actions. Could be the triple pump damaged?

I wouldn't just stay replacing parts !
Do a pressure test to find what part is faulty
I wouldn't be happy if someone just changed my wheel motors and it didn't fix it !

Carry out hydraulic pressure testing as per the book
Could be loosing feed pressure in brakes, in travel motors or pump
