Setting the steering on BT forklift RR E7 / 2007

Hi all,
I have some old truck with continuous 360 degree steering. Now I want to convert continuous 360 steering to 180 degree steering.
Please advice me in this case.
Regards

I've never seen or heard of it being done to an older Reflex like this.

The only thing I can suggest is contact your local BT / Toyota dealer & ask there advice as it would be a modification to the trucks original design specification & certification.

Other then that there is the steering indicator on the dash & the 2 direction arrows to show you which way the truck will go when you apply throttle.

I do know the new BT RRE Reflex can have switchable 360 / 180 steering as 180 steering is a factory fitted option when you order the truck.

Hi Forkingabout,
Thank for your reply. Because I used to driving some other truck with 180 degree steering. I can limit the risk of hitting the shelves while driving 360 degree steering.

It's not a mod i've ever seen done on an older Reflex.

For a start you would be making a serious change to the trucks original design specification & certification.

Is there any reason why you need 180 degree steering only? It really makes reach truck more restricted in operation.
