what is an inching pedal
Inching Pedal. Most petrol and diesel powered forklift trucks have three pedals. They are (from left to right) inching pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator pedal. The inching pedal acts much like the brake but it also disengages the transmission. On some forklifts this is done via a clutch mechanism, on others by a pressure valve in the transmission. Your operators manual will advise how the manufacturer recommends this control be used.
