Steering Cylinder for Reach Stacker
Steering cylinders are key components used to control direction in heavy equipment such as forklifts or stackers. It converts the driver’s operation into a steering action through a hydraulic system, ensuring the flexibility and stability of the equipment during operation. The design and performance of the steering cylinder directly affect the handling and safety of the equipment, so special attention should be paid to its quality and adaptability when selecting and maintaining it.

Steering Cylinder for Reach Stacker Introduction
A reach stacker steering cylinder is a hydraulic cylinder designed to steer the tires of a reach stacker. Typically positioned at the front of the vehicle, it connects the steering wheel to the steering linkage. When the operator turns the steering wheel, the steering cylinder activates the steering linkage, which results in the turning of the front tires.
Constructed from high-strength steel, reach stacker steering cylinders are built to endure the demands of heavy-duty applications. They are equipped with seals and wipers to prevent dirt and moisture from infiltrating the cylinder, thus protecting it from damage.
These cylinders are critical components of the vehicle's steering system. Without them, the operator would be unable to steer the reach stacker, compromising the safe and efficient movement and stacking of containers.
How Does a Reach Stacker Steering Cylinder Work?
- The operator turns the steering wheel.
- The steering wheel is connected to a hydraulic valve.
- The hydraulic valve controls the flow of hydraulic fluid to the steering cylinder.
- The hydraulic fluid pushes the piston in the steering cylinder in one direction or the other.
- The piston is connected to the steering axle.
- As the piston moves, it moves the steering axle in the desired direction.
