Counterbalanced Forklifts Generally Have Several Sets Of Brake Devices

‌Counterbalanced forklifts generally have two sets of brake devices‌. These two sets of brake devices are front wheel brakes and rear wheel brakes. The front wheel brake is usually a disc or drum brake, which is used to control the forward movement and braking of the forklift; the rear wheel brake is often other types, such as disc, drum or magnetic brake, suitable for different use environments and needs. ‌

The brake device of a counterbalanced forklift is an important part of ensuring the safety of vehicle driving. The basic principle of the brake device is to use the friction generated by the brake to suppress the movement of the wheel, so that the forklift stops or slows down. The brake consists of a brake disc, a brake drum, a brake pad, etc. Its performance is related to the structural design and is suitable for different types of forklifts.

Different types of brake devices are suitable for different use environments. For example, barrel brakes are mostly used for boosters or manual forklifts, suitable for flat road environments; drum brakes are generally used for large forklifts, suitable for places with potholes and large slopes; disc brakes are often used for electric forklifts, suitable for various road environments; magnetic brakes are mainly used for slow braking, parking and traction of electric forklifts.
