Variable Torque Brakes: Forklift Trucks

Application Profile Series 4PMB Variable Torque Brakes Forklift Trucks Product Application P-8290-MX 11/18 A large global manufacturer of multi-directional forklift trucks needed a replacement load wheel braking solution for one of its truck models. The forklift features a steering system that allows the truck to move sideways while transporting oversize heavy loads, such as long lumber bundles. This multi-directional capability allows the compact truck to travel in narrow aisles, increasing the space available for additional storage racking. The OEM had been using a mechanical load wheel brake but wanted a more technically- advanced, torque-controllable electric solution. Based on the OEMs torque requirements, space restrictions, chassis mounting configuration and available curr
