Troubleshooting parking brake on forklift

The design of the forklift is very special. The front tire is the driving wheel and also the parking brake on forklift. Only the front wheel of the whole vehicle has braking, and the rear wheel is only responsible for steering. Therefore, the braking system of the forklift is very important for the safety of forklift operation, especially is the parking brake on forklift.

Below we introduce the troubleshooting method of the fparking brake on forklift:

Park the forklift on a flat road, first tighten the forklift parking brake handle, and then start the forklift engine accessories, if it can start (that is, the forklift engine does not turn off), the forklift can move forward or backward, indicating the parking brake The effect is not good and needs to be dismantled and adjusted.

For disc brakes, after tightening the operating handle, if the friction pads are not tightly attached to the brake disc, first adjust the adjusting nut on the linkage arm pull rod to keep the two shoes parallel to the brake disc. If it can stick tightly and the braking effect is not good, check whether the friction plate is oily, whether the friction plate is ablated or cracked, etc. Take corresponding measures according to the situation: such as cleaning, replacement, adjustment, etc.

  If the problem is still not solved after the above inspection or adjustment, you should check the working surface of the brake disc. If there is wear and tear, the groove should be polished, and if it is serious, it should be replaced.
