how to move

our raymond reach truck has died. it is a 1996 model. the circuit boards are fried. this is our only truck. we will buy something to replace it. but it only will have a capacity of around 3000 lbs. this thing weighs close to 6000 lbs. how do we get this thing out of our warehouse? is there a way to manually release the brake so we can push it?

Stepping on the deadman pedal will release the brake. You will have to strong arm the steering if your gonna push it.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
