Generally, forklifts utilize rear-wheel steering because the front wheels bear a lot of the weight. Rear steering also allows your forklift to move in a circle around the front wheels if needed. Because of hectic warehouse activity, steer axle parts often undergo a lot of stress and damage.

To prevent unnecessary damage to steer axle parts, forklift operators should avoid overloading the forklift. If you notice that you are replacing your forklift steering parts often, review how the forklifts are being handled at your warehouse. Loading the forklift with less than the maximum weight is ideal.

Our aftermarket forklift steering parts are manufactured to meet or exceed industry specifications. Every part is inspected by our quality team at Intella Parts.

• Knuckle steering axles

Your forklift technicians should prevent issues from happening in your steering system since axles are connected to overall steering, driving, and braking. For most forklift models, tires should be replaced once per year, regardless of their operational hours.
