Zusammenfassung:A material handling vehicle, comprising a vehicle frame (14), a fork assembly (12) mounted to the vehicle frame, a steerable drive wheel (32) mounted to the vehicle frame, one or more caster assemblies (34, 36), mounted to the vehicle frame, adjacent the steerable drive wheel, and a torsion bar assembly (50) including: a torsion bar (52) rigidly coupled to the one or more caster assemblies and at least one preload member (60) coupled to a distal end of the torsion bar, wherein the preload member adjusts a static position of the one or more caster assemblies when unloaded thereby selectively applying a torsional force on the torsion bar when the caster assemblies are loaded.
