Designing a Custom Joystick for Heavy Equipment

Joysticks may not be the largest or flashiest component on a piece of machinery, but as the primary touchpoint for operators, careful consideration must be given to every factor including machine application, mounting, primary functions, and more. At GS Global Resources, custom joysticks are our biggest product, so we have a vast amount of experience designing and integrating them for OEMs in numerous industries with countless features and functions. In this video, one of our account managers walks through a unique joystick project and how we were able to design a solution that not only worked for the machine’s primary environment, but also saves the OEM replacement cost and service time.
