BRAKE RELEASE
HARD-LINE’s Brake Release unit is a handheld remote designed to ease the towing of a damaged or stuck machine in dangerous locations (typically in underground open stopes). When manually fetching heavy machinery is impossible due to danger, this device allows the supervisor to enter a keycode and release the machine’s park brakes from a safe distance. A Brake Release Package includes a vehicle unit, a handheld controller, a compact hydraulic power pack, the required hydraulic and electrical interfacing, and mounting hardware.
