Forklift Won't Start. It May Be These Reasons

1.Insufficient battery: The battery is the main power source of the forklift. If the battery is insufficient or the battery is old, the forklift will not start.

2.Starter motor failure: If the starter motor is damaged or there is a problem with its related parts (such as magnetic switch, one-way clutch, pull fork, shock absorber spring, etc.), the forklift may not be able to start.

3.Electrical circuit problems: A poor electrical connection, a blown fuse, or a faulty key switch may prevent the forklift from starting.

4.Fuel supply problems: The fuel tank is empty, the fuel pump does not pump fuel, the fuel injection pump plunger is worn, or the fuel supply time is incorrect, which may cause the forklift to fail to start.

5.Mechanical failure: Mechanical problems such as a locked crankshaft, stuck moving parts inside the engine, or broken fuel injection pump drive teeth may also cause the engine to fail to start.

6.Cylinder compression problem: The cylinder pressure is too low or the cylinder leaks too much. The ignition temperature cannot be reached at the end of compression, which may also cause the forklift to be unable to start.

7.Lubricating oil problems: Dirty lubricating oil or impurities in the oil passage may cause difficulty in starting.

8.Supercharger issues: A damaged supercharger or improper lubrication and cooling of it can also prevent a forklift from starting.

9.Engine temperature problem: The engine temperature is too low, and diesel is not easy to evaporate and burn, which may cause difficulty in starting.

10.Oil line problem: There is air in the oil line or the oil line is blocked, causing fuel to not be supplied to the engine normally.

11.Valve distribution problem: The valve phase is misaligned, and the opening moment of the valve is not coordinated with the stroke of the piston in the cylinder, which may result in failure to start.

12.Electrical system problems: The electrical system of the electric forklift is not working. For example, if the power cord is poorly connected or the battery connector is faulty, it may also cause the forklift to be unable to start.
