54 In-Cab Control Console
Dual Axis Joystick
This joystick is equipped with only one handle, but has two axes. The forward/backward axis controls
the lift arms, whereas the left/right axis controls the forks. Pushing the handle forward will raise the
lift arms, whereas pulling the handle backward will lower them. Pushing the handle to the right will
lower the forks, whereas pulling the handle to the left will raise the forks.
It is possible to control both arm and fork functions with this joystick. For example, if the handle is
pushed at a 45 degree angle between arms down and forks down, both functions will operate. This
takes practice, but it will reduce time taken to dump a container once perfected.
