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

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.
