Brake reduces manual effort

Linde Material Handling has
introduced a hand pallet truck with a
brake. The Pro Brake model is
capable of lifting loads up to 2,500kg,
providing a safer, more productive
alternative in manual handling. The
effort involved in moving Pro Brake
from stationary is said to be one
sixth of that compared to a similar
machine without a brake.

The ‘easy start’ mechanism
overcomes the initial inertia of a
stationary truck, enabling the
operator to get the laden machine
moving quickly and effortlessly with
no risk of a back injury. A parking
brake gives the operator complete
control of the truck with no danger
of overrunning – important when
handling heavy loads and when
operating on ramps.
