Hey all
I’ve got an electric Yale forklift that keeps getting stuck in reverse. I can hear the click of the electrical contact when it works normally.
I’ve circled in red the metal plate that makes electrical contact with a piece behind it to put it in reverse, releases to go drive. I can see someone’s previous attempt to replace the braided copper cable (?)
Now I know a bit about cars but not much about forklifts. What are these metal assemblies called? (A circuit breaker or switch of sorts?) What’s typically the root cause of them going bad? And can I fix it myself without getting fried?
Cheers,
Ern
(I’ll get the model number tomorrow morning)
