Small Forklift Steering Wheel

Small Forklift Steering Wheel — 300mm Diameter for A25/A30 Compact Forklifts

This 300mm small-diameter steering wheel is designed for compact forklift models including A25 and A30 series trucks where cab space is limited and a full-size steering wheel would obstruct operator entry or control layout. The 300mm diameter provides a balance between steering leverage and space efficiency — small enough to free up legroom in tight cabs yet large enough to maintain comfortable steering effort during extended shifts. Unlike universal steering wheels that require adapter hubs, this wheel is manufactured to the OEM spline pattern and taper specification for direct bolt-on installation. The outer rim is molded from high-durability polyurethane or rubber compound with a textured grip surface that maintains traction even with greasy or gloved hands. If your current steering wheel has a cracked rim, worn grip surface, or loose spline engagement that causes rotational play on the steering column shaft, this is a direct-fit replacement.

Replacing a forklift steering wheel requires removing the center horn button or cover plate to access the retaining nut. Before loosening the nut, mark the steering wheel position relative to the column shaft with a paint pen — this ensures the new wheel is installed at the correct clock position for straight-ahead driving. Use a steering wheel puller tool rather than hammering on the column shaft; impact force on the steering column can damage the orbitrol steering unit or EPS torque sensor on electric models. When installing the new wheel, align the splines carefully — forcing the wheel onto misaligned splines will strip the soft hub material and create permanent rotational play. Torque the retaining nut to the OEM specification (typically 40-60 Nm for forklift steering wheels) and verify the horn or steering angle sensor functions after installation. Common failure signs include a cracked or sticky rim surface, a steering wheel that wobbles on the column, and difficulty centering after turns — all indicate worn splines or degraded hub material.

This small steering wheel fits A25 and A30 series forklifts where the 300mm diameter is specified.
