    What to do if my EP Equipment Forklifts vehicle cannot be steered, but can travel?
    • A
      Ashley BrownAug 20, 2025
      If the steering in your EP Equipment Forklifts isn't working but the vehicle can still move, start by checking the steering potentiometer and its circuit connections. Then, ensure the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and redirector is solid. Inspect the redirector and its tubing connections, followed by the steering bridge and its tubing connections. Check the pump motor and its circuit, and then the pump itself. Finally, consider replacing the controller.

    Why is my EP Equipment Forklifts vehicle traveling at low speed, but not at high speed?
    • L
      Lisa NelsonAug 26, 2025
      If your EP Equipment Forklifts vehicle can only travel at low speed, there are a few possible causes. It could be due to drive motor speed encoder failure or controller failure. To troubleshoot: 1. Check if the motor rotation is normal. 2. Check the speed encoder and its connection circuit. 3. Remove the gearbox and check if the gear rotation is smooth and if there is blocking. 4. Replace the controller.

    • K
      Kimberly BeckerSep 3, 2025
      If your EP Equipment Forklifts vehicle is experiencing forward and reverse movement failures, but other functions are normal, it might be a controller issue. First, check if the parking brake switch and seat switch or the connection of its circuit is normal. Next, check the gearbox, then the travel switch and its connection circuit, and the drive motor and its connection circuit. If these are all normal, consider replacing the controller.
