Sorry completely off topic but thought someone might have some knowledge.
I have a TCM electric forklift about 20years old.
I drove it out of the garage today and it was working fine. It hasn't been used for a while. Then suddenly the power steering stopped.
After taking the service cover off at the back I noticed a 50Amp circuit break had tripped.
Normally when I switch the forklift on it has a gentle whirring. As soon as I throw the circuit break on this starts but the motor that is running isn't it's usual smooth noise. After a few seconds the circuit breaker trips.
I have jacked the rear of the forklift and the steering can be moved fine without any problems. I've also topped up the hydraulic oil. The lifting, forward and reverse are still working fine.
Is it an electric motor at fault? Any ideas?
