What are the reasons for a forklift suddenly not moving?
2 Answers
The reasons for a forklift suddenly not moving are as follows: There is an issue with the gearshift flexible shaft, and the second gear and reverse gear are not engaged at all. Forklift driving techniques: The hand brake must be firmly pulled, check the foot brake, give a driving signal, for example, one is to flip the bucket, check if the hydraulic system is intact, and apply grease. Additionally, forklift drivers need to learn the cause analysis and troubleshooting methods for common faults. First, insert the key into the electric lock hole, place the bucket flat on the ground, and slowly move forward. Note that operations must strictly follow the specific safety procedures. Forklift drivers must maintain high concentration during work, tighten screws, and prevent safety accidents.
There are many reasons why a forklift suddenly stops moving. I've driven forklifts for many years and encountered this issue quite a few times. The most common problem is engine-related, such as running out of fuel or ignition system failure, causing the engine to stall immediately after starting. Another frequent issue is hydraulic line leakage or blockage, resulting in insufficient pressure to drive the wheels. Once while working in the workshop, I experienced a seized drive shaft that completely immobilized the vehicle. A stuck brake system can also prevent movement, sometimes due to mud or debris getting into the wheels. I recommend first checking the fuel level, then observing whether the wheels rotate smoothly. If the problem persists, it's best to call a professional mechanic rather than forcing it, which could delay work and cause accidents. Regular maintenance like cleaning the undercarriage and avoiding prolonged idling can help prevent such issues.
