Yes
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.
The idea is that when your face (or preferably chest) runs into the steering wheel in a crash the steering wheel absorbs the energy instead of crushing you or as in the real old days allow the steering colum to stab straight through you.
as in any equipment to steer the forklift
WRONG!! a forklift is driven with a steering wheel, but the back tires direct the movement, not the front as in a car. With the back tires turning to control the turning radius, it allows you to turn literally on a dime. You can do a complete circle on a forklift without changing your center point. Depending on what size forklift you are speaking of. The above comment is refering to a forklift found in warehouses, walmart, etc.
A person needs a steering wheel puller to remove a steering wheel. It will help remove the steering wheel by putting pressure on the middle and by pulling up on the rest of the steering wheel.
