5.2 Hand wheel
Hand wheel is operated in normal way, that is to say,
when turning the hand wheel right, the truck will turn right.
When turning the hand wheel left, the truck will turn left. The
rear wheels of the forklift truck are steering wheels, which
make the tail section of the truck swing out when turning. The
turning method can be mastered easily through practice.
5.3 Cycloid gear type powered steering unit
The steering unit can transmit the pressure oil from the flow divider by pipes to the
steering cylinder in terms of the rotating angle of the hand wheel. When the engine
stop running, the charging pump will not work, in this case a man-powered steering
should be adopted. The sketch map of powered steering system is shown as Fig.5.1.
The structure of the steering unit is shown as Fig.5.2.
