The only double-rod cylinder on the forklift. Mounted at the centre of the rear axle, it extends equally in both directions \u2014 pushing one wheel left while pulling the other right. The result: precise, zero-backlash steering in the tight aisles of a warehouse or container yard.<\/p>\n

How the Double-Rod Steering Cylinder Works<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

\"Forklift<\/p>\n

Unlike every other cylinder on the forklift, the steering cylinder has rods extending from both ends. It sits horizontally across the rear axle, connected to the steering knuckles of the left and right rear wheels by tie rods. When hydraulic pressure pushes the piston to one side, one rod extends while the opposite rod retracts \u2014 turning both wheels simultaneously in the same direction.<\/p>\n

The double-rod design provides equal steering force and speed in both directions \u2014 left turns feel identical to right turns. The stroke is described as 2\u00d794 to 2\u00d7103 mm, meaning the piston travels approximately 94\u2013103 mm from centre to each side, producing a total wheel-to-wheel steering angle of 70\u201380 degrees. This tight turning radius is essential for manoeuvring in warehouse aisles, where the forklift must often turn 90 degrees within its own length.<\/p>\n

The steering circuit operates at 16 MPa \u2014 lower than the tilt cylinder (18.1 MPa) and lifting cylinder (18.1 MPa) because the steering force required to turn the unloaded rear wheels is significantly less than the forces needed to tilt a loaded mast or raise a loaded carriage.

Why Double-Rod Instead of Single-Rod?<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

A single-rod cylinder could also steer the wheels \u2014 but a double-rod design has three critical advantages for forklift steering:<\/p>\n

\n
\n Equal Force in Both Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a single-rod cylinder, the piston area differs between the bore side and the rod side \u2014 so the force and speed are unequal. With double rods, both sides of the piston have identical effective areas, producing identical force and speed for left and right turns.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n Symmetrical Wheel Geometry<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each rod connects to one steering knuckle. As one rod extends, the opposite retracts \u2014 turning both wheels at the same rate. This maintains the correct Ackermann steering geometry at every steering angle, ensuring even tyre wear and predictable handling.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n Centred Return<\/strong><\/p>\n

When hydraulic pressure is released, the equal piston areas on both sides allow the cylinder to return to centre naturally. The wheels straighten without active correction \u2014 a passive safety feature that keeps the forklift driving straight if the operator releases the steering.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
