As an innovative plastic injection molding company, at Southwest Quality Molding, we can accommodate complex projects that incorporate overmolding and insert molding processes. The part shown here is a pad pedal that is used by an industry leading forklift manufacturer. The pedal is used as the forward and reverse pedal in stand-up end-control forklifts. This part is manufactured on a 120 ton Toshiba injection molding machine to customer supplied specifications.

The pedal consists of the primary pedal body and overmolded arrows which are produced from a polypropylene resin as well as six M50 brass inserts that are used to assemble the pedal to the forklift. The overall assembly measures 108 mm in length, 174 mm in width, 20 mm in height, and is manufactured using a 97 gram shot. Dimensional and visual inspections are performed throughout the manufacturing process to verify conformance to customer prints.
