Parking Brake Cable
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Parking Brake Cable, also known as the handbrake cable, is an essential component of the commercial truck's braking system. It is responsible for engaging the parking brake, which is used to keep the vehicle stationary when parked. The cable is made up of a series of wires that are wrapped together and encased in a protective sheath. The cable is attached to the parking brake lever and the brake shoes or pads. When the parking brake lever is pulled, the cable tightens, causing the brake shoes or pads to press against the brake drum or rotor, thus preventing the vehicle from moving. The Parking Brake Cable is designed to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use and is made from high-quality materials that are resistant to corrosion and wear. It is important to ensure that the cable is properly maintained and adjusted to ensure that it functions correctly. A faulty Parking Brake Cable can lead to serious safety issues and can cause the vehicle to roll away when parked. Therefore, it is important to regularly inspect the cable for signs of wear and tear and to replace it if necessary.
