摘要:
A steering device for an industrial vehicle such as forklift. A pair of knuckle arms are rotatably supported at the ends of a rear axle. Each knuckle arm supports a rear wheel. A cylinder located in the rear axle includes an actuator rod. A pair of tie-rods couple the ends of the actuator rod to the knuckle arms. A toe angle adjusting mechanism is located between one end of the actuator rod and the corresponding tie-rod. The toe angle adjusting mechanism includes an adjuster pin having an eccentric shaft. The toe angle of the rear wheel that does not have the toe angle adjusting mechanism is adjusted by changing the neutral position of the actuator rod relative to the cylinder. Thereafter, the toe angle of the other rear wheel is adjusted by the toe angle adjusting mechanism, which facilitates adjustment of the toe angle of the wheels. The location and number of angle adjusting mechanisms are varied in alternate embodiments.
