you said that you don't have batteries for these reach trucks.

no battery makes them easier to move around.

you don't really need a brake release tool, you can loosen the the locknuts that hold down the rotor.

the large locknut requires a 1 1/8th" box-end wrench and the small locknut requires a 7/8" socket.

the socket fits inside of the box-end, I've done this lots of times with no problems.

YOU MUST be extra careful when releasing the brakes this way ! be prepared to stop the reach truck from rolling, until you get those locknuts tightened again !

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
