Buying bake lines from JVD Parts

Forklifts are powerful industrial vehicles that use their braking systems all the time. Brake lines, also referred to as brake pipes or brake fluid lines, are an essential part of these braking systems. They play a crucial role in transferring hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to the wheel brakes. This enables forklift operators to slow down and stop safely, which is essential in terms of safety in warehouses and industrial environments.

How do brake lines work?

Brake lines consist of metal tubes or plastic hoses filled with brake fluid that run from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders. When the driver depresses the brake pedal, the brake line converts hydraulic pressure into mechanical force, activating the brakes. Brake lines thus connect the master cylinder to the hydraulic components on the wheel brake. This creates the necessary friction between the brake pads and brake discs to ensure that the forklift stops safely.

Replacing brake lines

It is important to regularly check brake lines for wear, corrosion or leakage. Moisture causes corrosion or rust formation, e.g. on the inside of the brake lines. Brake line leaks, in turn, cause the pressure in the braking system to drop and the brakes to partially or even completely failing to operate.

Worn or damaged brake lines result in a reduction in braking power and eventually even brake failure. Ensure the safety of your forklift and your team, therefore, by replacing worn brake lines - as well as brake pumps and brake discs - in good time with quality parts from our range.

Different types of brake lines

Brake lines are available in different materials, each with their own specific characteristics and advantages.

• Copper brake lines are strong and durable, but can be prone to rusting and bending under high brake pressure.
• Rubber brake lines are flexible and easy to install, but tend to crack, dry out or just leak over time.
• Kevlar brake lines, made from a composite material, offer excellent performance at high brake pressures and are extremely durable.
• Metal brake lines, made from braided steel wire, combine flexibility with durability and offer improved braking performance compared to rubber brake lines.

Generally, copper or stainless steel brake lines are preferred because of their rigidity and durability. Brake hoses made of reinforced rubber are more flexible but wear out more quickly.

Each type of brake line has its own characteristics and advantages. It is important, therefore, to make the right choice based on brake pressure, the type of vehicle and driving conditions. Our brake lines are of excellent quality and offer optimum performance and safety for your forklift. Our team will be happy to help you choose.
