Forklift Brake Adjuster Kit — Self-Adjusting Mechanism
The forklift brake adjuster kit is a complete self-adjusting brake mechanism service set — including hardened adjustment screws, precision-stamped star wheels, adjustment levers, return springs, and all retaining hardware. As brake shoes wear down with use, the gap between the shoe lining and the drum increases, and the adjuster mechanism automatically compensates by rotating the star wheel to maintain the correct running clearance. A forklift brake adjuster kit with seized screws, rounded star wheel teeth, or fatigued springs fails to maintain this clearance — causing progressively longer brake pedal travel that eventually reaches the floor before full braking is achieved.
Manufactured with hardened and ground adjustment screws, precision-stamped star wheels, and tempered springs, this forklift brake adjuster kit restores the automatic clearance compensation that keeps the brake pedal height consistent throughout the brake shoe wear life.
