Description
Overview:
This over-centre type handbrake cable is built for Thwaites site dumpers and is used to transmit force from the knock-over handbrake lever to the brake mechanism. It features a durable steel inner wire with a protective outer sheath for reliable service in harsh site conditions. A clevis fitting at the handbrake end provides a secure and familiar attachment. The overall length is approximately 130 inches (about 330 cm / 3.30 m), giving ample routing flexibility on the chassis. Engineered for later type Thwaites handbrake layouts, it is suitable for common models such as the 4000 and 6000. Manufacturer Part Number (MPN): 14455. Designed to restore firm, consistent parking brake performance and help maintain safe machine holding on slopes and during loading.
