Tests

Tests

Testing can follow either process A or B. For industrial trucks with automatic braking (e.g. magnetic brake or springloaded accumulator), the automatic brake is also the parking brake.

For pedestrian trucks the tiller acting in the braking zone is also the parking brake.

Process A

• Drive the industrial truck onto an incline in accordance with the “Requirements” section and bring to a standstill with the operating brake. • Activate the parking brake and then release the operating brake. • The parking brake is functional if the truck stops in accordance with the

“Requirements” section.

Process B

• Halt travel (release accelerator / travel switch) and bring the truck to a standstill with the handbrake. • The parking brake is functional if the truck achieves the respective percentage value for braking (recorded with a delay recording device), in accordance with the “Requirements” section.

Trucks with Spring-Loaded Accumulator

STOP When the handbrake is applied the full force of the spring-loaded brake acts.

The truck brakes suddenly.
