Hi all,

I have a customer with 4 x CB3000 units and 1 was reported with brakes not working.

I tested the machine and found that the forklift would slow down when applying the inching pedal but would continue to roll slowly for approximately half a meter before the park brake came on and the machine would completely stop and hold.

I tested the other 3 machines, and they have exactly the same characteristics, they all have fairly low hours.

Can anyone tell me if this is correct or is there a pressure or brake pack fault, with a heavy load the operator said went past where he needed to put the load, and the maintenance manager wants verification for safety reasons.

I am also trying to reach out to the agent but no luck yet.

Any verification or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Michael
MD Equipment Maintenance

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
