The medium and heavy-duty truck steering system is a vital component that allows the driver to control the vehicle’s direction. It converts the driver’s steering wheel input into the turning motion of the wheels, enabling accurate navigation. It is built to withstand high loads and harsh conditions. The system provides precise maneuverability and enhances vehicle stability. Its main objective is to offer responsive handling while reducing driver fatigue and promoting road safety.

The primary types of medium- and heavy-duty truck steering systems include hydraulic steering systems, electric steering systems, and electro-hydraulic steering systems. Hydraulic steering systems use hydraulic fluid to translate the driver’s input into mechanical force, making steering easier, especially for heavy-duty vehicles and equipment. The essential components include the steering wheel, steering column, steering pump, steering gear, steering linkage, and steering fluid reservoir for various vehicle types, such as medium-duty trucks and heavy-duty trucks. It is suitable for multiple applications, including transportation and logistics, construction, agriculture, mining, and oil and gas, and it is utilized by several end-users, including original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.
