Product Description
What Happens If You Forget to Release the Forklift Parking Brake?
The forklift parking brake system typically consists of the handle, a brake cable connected to the brake shoes, and brake drums linked to the front wheels. Driving with the parking brake still engaged can lead to several serious issues.
1. Wear and Tear on Forklift Brake Shoes
Operating a forklift with the parking brake on accelerates the wear of the brake shoes. Driving with the parking brake applied leads to increased friction and heat generation, causing the brake shoes to degrade faster than normal. Worn-out brake shoes reduce braking performance and potential brake failure.
2. Damage to the Forklift Brake Cable
Keeping the parking brake engaged while driving causes excessive tension on the handbrake cable. Over time, this tension can lead to overheating, deformation, or even cable breakage. Regular stress on the cable may result in hardening, rusting, elongation, and reduced ability to return to its original position, all of which can diminish the overall braking performance.
3. Increased Strain on Transmission Components
Forgetting to release the parking brake impacts the braking system and affects the forklift's transmission system: The additional resistance from the engaged parking brake puts extra stress on the forklift's transmission components, including the gearbox and differential. This strain can lead to premature wear or even damage, ultimately affecting the forklift's overall performance and reliability.
4. Increased Fuel Consumption
Driving with the parking brake engaged increases the engine's workload, leading to higher fuel consumption. This inefficiency not only raises operating costs but also contributes to greater environmental impact.
5. Accelerated Tire Wear
Driving with the parking brake engaged can accelerate tire wear. The additional resistance causes undue stress on the tires, leading to uneven wear patterns and potentially reducing their lifespan.
While a brief period of driving with the parking brake engaged may not cause severe damage, prolonged use can result in significant wear and tear. Regular checks of the brake system and components are crucial to ensure no lasting damage.
