Help needed urgent!

Hello everyone i'm here for a little help, i'm a student at coventry university in england, i'm studying transport design and have a project on forklift trucks. Now all i need to know basically is what materials are the main parts of a forklift made from? i.e chassis, lifters, wheels, tyres etc

I've searched the net and not found much at all, i hope you can help me :)

thanks

Gavin,

What are you exactly after? Basic material specification i.e. Steel, rubber, or more specific specs?

I may or may not be able to assist depending on what you require.

hi gavin s
The best advise i can give you is to speek to Toyota Northern and ask for there technical department. I can only guess that you are after the type of steel used. Then speek to a metal expert to explain what these mean. I have used Hull University in the past when having new mast sections made and they have been most helpfull.

The Michelin Guide with its star rating system originated in France in 1900. The guide was created as a marketing tool to encourage more car travel and consequently increase the demand for tyres. It initially contained maps, tire repair instructions, and lists of restaurants, hotels, and mechanics.
