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.
