Where is the Gear Shift on a Forklift?

[StLila]

The gear shift on a forklift, commonly referred to as the forklift's gear lever, is typically located on the left side of the steering wheel. Here are the relevant details: Gear Lever: Manual transmission forklifts have two types of gear levers. One type consists of two levers: one controls forward and reverse gears, while the other manages the speed (fast and slow gears). If either lever is in the neutral position, the forklift won't move; both levers must be engaged in their respective positions for the forklift to operate. The other type is a single lever, operated similarly to regular motor vehicles. Low Gear: The low gear is characterized by slower speed, allowing the drive wheels to achieve higher torque and greater traction. As such, it is suitable for starting, climbing slopes, navigating difficult terrain, sharp turns, loading, and unloading. However, due to the slower speed in low gear, the engine temperature tends to rise more easily, and fuel consumption is higher, so prolonged use of low gear is not recommended.
