Hyster has historically used brake systems from a few different manufacturers. Akebono is a Japanese company that supplies brake systems for most Hyster forklifts under 8,000 pound capacity. Knott is a German company that has supplied braking system components for Hyster forklifts with capacities between around 8,000 pounds and 16,000 pounds. Finally, the quite large Hyster forklifts are supplied with air brakes provided by the drive axle manufacturer, either Meritor/Rockwell or Kessler.

Safety is essential in your warehouse operation. If your Hyster forklift starts showing any of these signs, you can’t afford not to pay attention:

• The forklift doesn’t brake as quickly as it used to
• The brake pedal drops too far down
• The brakes start making odd sounds they didn’t make before

Don’t wait until it’s too late and an accident happens. Inspect your forklift brakes immediately and order new parts today.

Your Hyster S50C forklift (or any other popular Hyster forklift model) likely has drum and shoe brakes.
