In the past two years, the sales volume of electric forklift has risen rapidly. More and more large, medium and small enterprises have eliminated internal combustion forklifts and selected electric forklifts as the handling and stacking equipment. Compared with the traditional internal combustion forklift, electric forklift is more time-saving and labor-saving, not only that, but also easier to maintain and repair. Although electric forklifts have many advantages, they sometimes encounter problems. Today, the electric forklift manufacturer has come to answer the question that many customers have raised: what should we do if the electric forklift can't move.

If the electric forklift cannot move, first check whether the battery power of the electric forklift is sufficient and whether the voltage is normal. If the battery is dead or the voltage is too low, it can be fully charged. If it is not an electrical problem, check whether the circuit is loose or short circuited, and also check whether the microswitch is damaged. After finding the problem, the solution is to repair and clean the circuit, or replace the microswitch. Next, check whether the hydraulic contactor assembly is burnt, and whether the coil is short circuited or open circuited. The electric forklift manufacturer told us that the solution is to repair the platinum contact of the hydraulic contactor. If it is seriously damaged, it is necessary to directly replace a hydraulic contactor assembly.
If no problem is found in the above operations, check whether the motor of the electric forklift has short circuit, open circuit or electric leakage. If so, repair the circuit and the copper head of the motor in time. Check whether the carbon brush is seriously worn, and replace the carbon brush if this problem exists. If the problem of the motor is serious, it can be considered to replace the motor directly. Also check the hydraulic pump, multi way valve, oil pipe and oil cylinder of the electric forklift for problems. The electric forklift manufacturer reminded that if there is a problem, the hydraulic pump, multi way valve, oil pipe and oil cylinder should be repaired or replaced depending on the severity of the problem.

The above is how to check and deal with the problem that the electric forklift cannot move. To deal with such problems, the driver need not worry, but carefully check them one by one to find the right remedy. No matter what kind of equipment, problems are inevitable. If you encounter problems with stackers, forklifts and pallet jacks, you can consult the electric forklift manufacturer.
