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
