The front wheel of a forklift primarily serves as the steering mechanism, allowing the operator to maneuver the vehicle effectively in tight spaces. Additionally, it supports the weight of the load being lifted and helps maintain stability during operation. The design and placement of the front wheel are crucial for optimal turning radius and overall operational efficiency.
