Joysticks & fingertips
For decades, levers have been the ideal way to control and operate forklifts, stackers and reach trucks. They are still the best solution in rough conditions. Nevertheless, they are increasingly making way for sophisticated electronic joysticks and fingertips. You’ll find a wide range of these at JVD Parts.

What are joysticks and fingertips?
Joysticks and
fingertips replace the well-known, robust levers in forklifts, stackers and
reach trucks. They use electricity to transmit signals. These electronic components work more precisely, require less effort from the driver and
allow several functions to be operated simultaneously. Think of them as an
extension of the driver's arm. They increase the comfort and safety of the
driver, and are therefore also an interesting investment.
Joystick vs fingertip, what should you choose?
A joystick is a vertically mounted handle with which you can control the movements of your forklift. You can move the joystick in various directions, and your machine will then move forwards or backwards, left or right.
We also refer to a fingertip as a fingertip joystick or mini-joystick. It is controlled by your fingertips, and is usually mounted on an armrest or panel. This type of control is ideal for precision tasks, such as raising and lowering your forks or tipping your load.
The choice between a joystick and a fingertip when purchasing the machine therefore depends on the application for which you use them and your personal preference. Both elements are essential for the efficient and safe operation of a forklift, stacker or reach truck.
How do you replace a joystick?
Replacing a joystick seems to be a complicated job. You should always go through the following steps. A golden tip: go through the manual of your new product. JVD Parts will be happy to assist you in every step of the process.
- Choosing the right joystick: consider the brand and type of your vehicle and your personal preferences. Filter by specifications, such as connections and price, in our menu. Do you need any help? Feel free to contact us.
- Take a look at your old joystick: put your vehicle in a safe location, turn it off, press the emergency stop switch and disconnect your vehicle battery. Take some photographs, and note how your joystick is installed and connected.
- Install your new joystick: only hold your joystick by the handle, in order to prevent an electrostatic discharge. Mount it in a safe, easily accessible location and connect the wiring. Replace it 1-to-1, or consult the user manual.
- Testing your joystick: this is an important step before you screw everything back together. Where necessary,
you should also calibrate your new control element in this phase, so that it will be perfectly matched to
your forklift.
