On any type of wheeled construction plant machinery the brakes are certainly one of the most important components of the machine. With the very nature of the type of work most construction machines undertake, often involving the transport of heavy loads, and the high machinery weight the brakes are constantly put under immense pressure. Failure of this safety critical part is not an option!
With this in mind it comes as a surprise then to learn that only to often the brake components, most frequently the brake pads themselves, are treated as a commodity product and the purchase is chiefly driven by cost! Here at HTS, we can assure you that the cost of components will not be front of mind if you are operating a 10 ton dumper and the brakes have just failed!
This is why we offer a premium woven brake pad. Premium pads can have an increase in stopping power and a decrease in brake fade. This means that braking performance will remain consistent even as the brake temperature increases due to repetitive braking. The HTL0400 pads have long been one of our best selling products due to their quality and reliability. A universal fit round pad, the HTL0400 fits a huge number of machines including many JCB models, such as the 3CX, Site dumpers, Telehandlers and Rough Terrain Forklifts.
Also available from stock we can now offer over 30 different handbrake cables from manufactures such as Mecalac, Thwaites, Wacker Neuson and JCB. Alongside cables we also stock a full range of components such as levers, pedals, callipers, service kits and cylinders. Please don’t hesitate to contact our sales team for any braking requirements you may need.
