ABSTRACT:
A steering system with a kickback control arrangement is disclosed which is particularly suitable for an industrial vehicle such as a forklift truck with a dirigible rear wheel or wheels. A steering force transmitting system is operatively disposed between a manual steering handle and a dirigible wheel whereby the dirigible wheel is steered by the manual steering handle. This steering force transmitting system includes a force transmitting part, such as a steering shaft assembly and/or a pinion assembly, which has one end subjected to a steering force (a steering torque) manually imposed on the manual steering handle and an opposite end subjected to an external force (a kickback) imposed on the dirgible wheel. A torque sensor and a rotation sensor are arranged on the force transmitting part and a brake is arranged as to decelerate the manual steering handle when a kickback is detected based on the outputs of the sensors.
