Full Hydro Steering

[muleskinner]

I found a forklift being parted out, and I was thinking about buying the entire steering system off of it. anyone know what Pumps, Orbital valves etc. they use? I'm going to look at it tomm. I can get the entire setup for a couple bills.

Thx

Might be a good score, might not. Some have valves that only steer when the engine's running, others will steer with the engine off. Either way, it's likely to be a non-load-reactive valve, but you never know.

AFA the pump, I'd assume they run off the same hydraulic pump that runs all the rest of the hydraulics of the forklift.

I definately want it to turn without engine power. I guess I'll find out tomm. Thanks Carl

my orbital was supposedly for a Toyota fork lift..

i think it's a good score if you can get the parts for cheap.. i wouldn't spend much money until you know exactly what you're getting..
