Steering Modes
Forklift Travel
Warning
Never use crab or four wheel (4W) steering for
traveling at high speeds. Use only two wheel
(2W) steering for higher speed travel and
slow the forklift before turning. Rapid turn-
ing using crab, four wheel (4W), or the
optional two wheel rear (2WR) steering could cause tip
over, which could result in death, serious injury, or property
damage.
Check the turning radius around the forklift before making
a turn, especially if using four wheel (4W) steering or
two wheel rear (2WR) steering, which provide a tighter
turning radius. Look over your shoulder in the direction
of the turn when backing. Failure to remain aware of your
turning radius area could result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.
Caution
DO NOT change steering modes until the forklift slows or
comes to a complete stop.
The reach forklift includes three STANDARD modes of
steering; Crab, Two Wheel (2W), and Four Wheel (4W) Steering.
Use the Steering Select switch located on the dash panel to
change steering modes.
Crab steering allows all four (4) wheels to turn
in the same direction as the steering wheel,
allowing the forklift to move “sideways”. Crab
steering is useful in a congested work site to
line up to a loading location.
Crab Steering
Two wheel (2W) steering allows the front
wheels to turn in the same direction as the
steering wheel. The rear wheels remain in
a fixed forward position. Two wheel (2W)
steering is useful for traveling at higher
Two Wheel Front Steering (2W)
speeds.
Four wheel (4W) steering allows the front
wheels to turn in the same direction and the
rear wheels to turn in the opposite direction of
the steering wheel. The rear wheels follow the
front wheel path. Four wheel (4W) steering is
Four Wheel Steering (4W)
useful for a short turning radius and in muddy or sandy
conditions.
Fig 66. Maximum Fork Sweep
Warning
Allow for adequate clearance between the
attachment and other objects when turning.
The attachment extends beyond the front of
the forklift. The operator must be aware of
the maximum sweep of any attachment
being used, when turning, to avoid hitting personnel and
other objects in the area to prevent death, serious injury, or
property damage.
