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 !
