Brake Shoe Repair Kit for R40 / R45 Forklift

The brake shoe repair kit is a complete brake shoe replacement set for R40 and R45 series forklifts — including new brake shoes with bonded friction linings, return springs, hold-down springs, and retaining hardware. The R40/R45 platform uses a specific brake shoe arc radius and lining width matched to the drum diameter of these models. A brake shoe repair kit with friction material worn to the rivet heads produces metal-on-metal contact with the brake drum, scoring the drum surface and dramatically reducing braking performance on machines that operate with rated loads in confined warehouse spaces where stopping distance directly affects safety.

Manufactured with OEM-spec friction linings bonded to precision-formed steel shoe plates, this brake shoe repair kit provides consistent friction across the operating temperature range. Always replace brake shoes as an axle set (both wheels). For brake drums and complete overhaul kits, browse our relevant brake components.
