Creep-speed precision meets tight-aisle steering — how the TMS08 wheel-type radial piston motor and the BDAS5 steering unit work a counterbalance forklift.

Positioning a pallet is millimetre work: the truck must move at 0.1–5 km/h with zero drift, then hold position on a ramp with a full load raised. Drive and steering both have to be exact.
Motor roles in this machine
- TMS08 — front wheel drive: Wheel-type radial piston motors mount inside the drive wheels, giving precise creep-speed control and carrying the axle load directly on the motor bearings. TMS08 reference →
- BDAS5 — rear axle steering: Full-hydraulic proportional steering brings lock-to-lock aisle turns with fingertip effort, no mechanical column. BDASS reference →
