Single Lever Tilt and Telescope Adjustment for Forklift Steering Column

Single Lever Tilt and Telescope Adjustment for Forklift Steering Column

A sizeable amount of time operating a forklift is sunk into adjusting the steering column between users as there are often several operators per machine. Adjusting the column position using the two existing levers only takes a few seconds, however that time adds up. By condensing the two adjustment levers into a single motion, downtime is reduced. Our goal is to create a more robust version of the technology found in passenger vehicles that can be installed into Hyster-Yale forklifts.
