WBHS Wheel Brakes are parking and safety devices that can be used as dynamic brakes in case of emergency
WBHS Wheel Brakes apply force generated by springs on both sides of the crane wheels. Oversized brake shoes with bonded friction material apply on the side flanges of idler wheels, providing the friction forces, and thus, braking capacity.
Designed as parking brakes to be applied when equipment comes to a full stop, WBHS wheel brakes can be also used as dynamic brakes in an emergency situation. By applying spring force directly on the wheel flanges, they minimize the amount of stress and strain otherwise placed on sill beams and truck assemblies of a crane.
