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
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
