用于降低电动机/发动机驱动的工业车辆行驶速度的装置。通常，通过踩下制动踏板以与汽车相同的方式致动。这种方法的一个例外是死人的制动器，踩下踏板会释放制动器。同时，它在离开车辆时也用作固定制动器。具有驾驶台和可升降操作平台的工业车辆配备了死人刹车。在操纵杆控制的工业车辆中，通过向上或向下推动操纵杆控制轴来实现制动作用并同时关闭驱动电流，每个操纵杆代表一个制动位置。

        Device for decelerating the travel speed of motor/engine-driven industrial trucks. It is normally actuated in the same way as in automobiles by pressing down the brake pedal. An exception to this method is the dead man's brake where pressing down the pedal releases the brake. At the same time it is used as immobilising brake when leaving the truck. Industrial trucks with driver's stand and elevatable operating platform are equipped with dead man's brakes. In tiller-shaft-controlled industrial trucks the braking action and simultaneously switching off the drive current is achieved by pushing the tiller control shaft up or down, each represents a brake position.
