Steering Products
BSM North America is a team of off-highway steering application experts making quality products in the U.S. since 1982. We handle every step in-house, providing faster quotes, custom designs, and shorter lead times. From fully customized steering columns to precision accessories, our engineers deliver durable solutions built to meet the unique demands of off-highway equipment.
Our ISO-certified processes and engineering expertise ensure every product performs reliably, giving you confidence in safety, quality, and long-term value.
Once a part is fully designed and assigned part numbers, we provide a detailed quote including pricing and lead time. You can receive preliminary estimates upfront using existing designs or updated quotes throughout development as features or components impact cost.
Whether you’re familiar with our products or not, our team can also work to meet target pricing or delivery timelines, ensuring your project requirements are achieved without compromising quality. The quoting process formally locks the design, and final models, drawings, or prints are shared with your team. Most changes are still accommodated, though adjustments may affect pricing or lead times.
BSM North America is proud to be a 100% American-made OEM product manufacturer serving a range of industries, from agriculture and construction to ground support and utility vehicles. Talk to an engineer today for personalized guidance for your application.
Durability testing helps verify that off-highway steering components can withstand repeated mechanical loads, vibration, shock, temperature changes, moisture, contaminants, and other demanding operating conditions. Testing steering columns, actuators, joints, sensors, and related components can identify potential failure points before production. Mechanical cycle testing and electronic validation also help OEMs evaluate component performance, structural integrity, and sensor consistency throughout the intended application lifecycle.
Heavy equipment manufacturers frequently face critical delays when sourcing prototype components from overseas suppliers. This article highlights the benefits of partnering with a domestic manufacturer like BSM North America, which offers in-house engineering and fabrication to deliver custom prototypes in just 2 to 3 weeks while minimizing transit risks.
E-steering, or steer-by-wire, uses electronic sensors, controllers, and actuators to transmit steering commands instead of relying solely on a conventional mechanical connection. In construction equipment, the technology can support variable steering ratios, reduced steering feedback, flexible cab layouts, automated guidance, multiple steering modes, and remote operation. These capabilities can improve operator ergonomics, machine control, automation readiness, and energy management when properly engineered for the application.
