Land Rover cherrypicker fault, help needed!

[Stephen Blair]

Hi.  My Mewp has a fault and we couldn’t find it today.

  While booming out, the pressure I believe came off 1 of the legs so stopped the flow to the boom, it should then put it to the legs.  But it’s hasnt.  We released the valves and lowered myself down.  Relays ok, sensors seemed ok.  There are 2 solenoids at the back, we swapped the relays (I think )Over and still nothing.  Pumps still working but just not pressurising I think.  Has anyone had similar?  Any help appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Are the legs going up and down ? Did have a problem last year when the legs where down it would not work as there was a faulty relay in the leg not letting the pressure switch to the boom hydraulics ... I probably explained that badly!

No mention of the model/make of mewp which makes it hard to comment, does sound like a light leg sensor problem though ( if fitted).

Gardener Denver mewp by any chance Stephen?

[Stephen Blair]

Yes Geoff!

got it sorted, drove it forward a few inches and that must of done something to the pressure.  Legs started working.  Got it rescued from the car park.  I’ll renew the relays abs get someone to check it out next week.

thanks

That’s good news. If you ever get stuck again this guy knows them inside out his name is Peter the cherry picker oracle 07798 575623. He should be able to diagnose it over the phone for you. He’s done it a few times for me when I first got mine. [emoji106]

I have a similar problem to this,   legs work fine. But I have no pressure in the boom hydraulics. 

 

How did you manage to sort yours? 

 

Many thanks Sion
