Title: Hydraulic-actuated steering assembly for an industrial vehicle

Abstract: A hydraulically operated steering assembly for a floor-type industrial vehicle, such as a fork-lift truck, comprises an elongated axial body upon which the axle carriers for the respective wheel axles are mounted at its ends. The pivot axes between the knuckle and the axle body and between the hydraulic cylinder and the axle body coincide, i.e., the cylinder and the knuckle are pivoted coaxially on the body and preferably within the latter.
