Description
Overview:
This 116" handbrake cable is a direct replacement for Benford 3-ton site dumpers built before 2002, and is also suitable for equivalent Terex and Mecalac machines of the same platform. It transmits force from the handbrake lever to the braking mechanism to hold the dumper securely when parked or during loading. The cable uses a high-strength steel inner wire within a protective, abrasion-resistant outer sheath, with robust metal end fittings for dependable service on site. Its nominal length is 116 inches (2.946 m), giving the correct routing and adjustment range for pre‐2002 setups. Built to withstand mud, water, and frequent operation, it helps restore positive handbrake performance and supports safe, consistent control on inclines and uneven ground.
Key Features:
- Correct length: 116 inches (2.946 m) for pre‐2002 Benford 3-ton dumpers
- OEM reference 1581-1081 for straightforward specification matching
- Heavy-duty steel inner cable with low-friction liner for smooth pull
- Durable outer sheath resists abrasion, dirt, and site contaminants
- Pre-fitted end fittings for easy installation and adjustment
- Corrosion-resistant construction suitable for wet, muddy conditions
- Consistent cable action helps achieve firm parking brake hold
- Replaces stretched, seized, or frayed cables to restore performance
- Designed for demanding construction and industrial environments
- Compatible across Benford, Terex, and Mecalac branded 3-ton platforms (pre‐2002)
Typical Applications:
Used to maintain reliable parking brake function on 3-ton site dumpers during day-to-day site work, including secure holding on slopes, stabilising the machine while loading or unloading, and keeping equipment stationary during servicing or inspections. Ideal for preventative maintenance or when resolving MOT-style brake performance checks on fleet machines.
