The front wheels of a lift truck serve as the primary load-bearing components, allowing the vehicle to stabilize and maneuver while lifting and transporting heavy loads. These wheels are designed to support the weight of the cargo and provide traction for movement. Additionally, they play a crucial role in steering and controlling the lift truck, ensuring precision during operation. Proper maintenance of the front wheels is essential for safe and efficient lift truck performance.
