Vertical Wheel Hand Brake

Overview   |   Features & Benefits

Quick release levers in short or long handle versions provide versatility for unobstructed access. The long handle requires less pulling force for complete release.

Smooth gradual release
Pinion gear and quick-release mechanisms are hardened to provide improved wear resistance. A shelf-type winding drum protects the chain from bending, twisting or overlap and provides quick chain take-up as well as smooth gradual release of the hand brake with the wheel.

Reduce unnecessary wear
The NYAB hand brake incorporates permanently lubricated sealed ball bearings supporting the hand wheel shaft to improve vibration characteristics and to eliminate premature wear.

Depend on expert field support
Available at locations across the U.S. and Canada, responsive technical assistance is another way that New York Air Brake leads the industry.
