Disconnecting steer system

摘要

A lift truck is provided with an operator's station on the carriage whereby the operator is elevated with the carriage and its load handling forks or platform. The operator's station includes a manually operated steering control which is automatically disconnected from the steerable wheel when the carriage is elevated. Steering motion transmitting means between the operator's station and the steerable wheel includes a pair of cooperable torque transmitting members which automatically engage when the carriage is lowered and disengage when the carriage is elevated.
