691 Brake Lock System
The MICO 691 Brake Lock System locks hydraulic pressure in the service brakes to supplement the vehicle's mechanical parking brake and provide extra holding in heavy-duty high frequency applications. These systems also function as an interlock to apply pressure to the service brakes when other vehicle mounted equipment is being used.
A system consists of a small electrohydraulic pump, remote mounted actuator (single and/or dual), electronic control module, and a small dash mounted user interface. The operator simply activates a switch and the 691 System automatically applies, monitors, and maintains brake-locking pressure.
