Discussion:
Weak moving forward/reverse

I got an old Clark TM15 (TM145) 48v forklift that have some problem with moving forward/reverse. The lift and tilt works fine. The engine-contactor click and engine starts with the direction-handle as well as the steering. When pushing throttle the directional-contactors click and the wheels move with little "torque" but not enough to move the forklift. When raised the wheel from ground the wheels start spinning and after a while the "highspeed"-contactor klick. If I start with the "highspeed"-contactor shut the forklift are moving on ground with only on highspeed.

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
