Can you establish if the control system is "digital" or good old relatively analogue 12v "yes or no". Then the painful task of seeing where the switch command goes and whether or not it makes anything happen at the other end. You can start at either end I guess, either from a switch which should make a motor turn or from the motor until you find something live upstream from it...
If it's anything like the one I tried to fault find, you can manually activate the massive contactors but be careful not to accidentally find the drive actuator. I almost drove a forklift through the garage wall when I found that one...
when I needed someone out I just googled and then phoned around
there's naff all else you can do
with no steering or switches you're chasing your tail trying to test them / fault find them
from my experience with forklifts, phone round and find someone who specialises in lindi
if they're only fixing one brand of forklifts they should be pretty good - it's like a mechanic who only works on one brand, and that brand only had 10 cars... 10 which are mostly identical anyway
What about Linde direct, they must have roving tecks
We were doing another job in a big distribution hub that had their trucks, the 2 way radios interfered with the speed controller's , the radios were in speck and not just one make
Took 3 weeks to sort the problem
From my old logistics manager. His contact at Linde. Maybe a lead, maybe not. but worth a phone call to see if he knows any engineers round your way. Dave Roots[Mobile] 07791 421088
The guy at Linde, yes. Don't know anything about him. He maybe sales for all I know.Thanks. For clarity, this is the guy at Linde? As opposed to your old manager?

Not nice spending on something but I'm assuming would have cost you a lot more to buy a another forklift so you could see this as a cheap fix in a way better to spend 2000 on a working good forklift that you know than 6000 on something that might be a load of problems as soon as you get itFor anyone thats vauguly interested, i finally found someone with, a, the software, b, a clue.
Had to come from Birmingham mind.
Turned out it was the main electronic module. New one was £3750. Happily he came prepared with a couple of second hand ones. Once swapped out, all is well. Apart from my bank balance. But it is what it is.
At last i can crack on with doing something constructive
