Disc parking brake for Grove 2035

The parking brake disc, part number 1101506, functions as a mechanical interface within the parking brake assembly of Grove all-terrain cranes. It provides the necessary surface area for the brake pads or shoes to engage, creating the friction required to hold the crane in a fixed position. By preventing involuntary movement, this component ensures the machine remains stable when parked or during specific lifting operations where the crane must remain stationary.

This component is compatible with Grove 2035, GMK 2035, and GMK-2035-35TON models. It is engineered to meet the specific fitment requirements of these crane systems, ensuring proper alignment and interaction with the surrounding braking hardware. Regular inspection of the disc surface for signs of wear or scoring is standard maintenance practice to ensure the parking brake system maintains its holding capacity.

Parking brake discs are used in heavy machinery to provide a secondary or auxiliary braking function independent of the primary service brakes. When the parking brake is applied, the disc is clamped to stop the rotation of the drivetrain or wheel assembly, effectively locking the machine in place. This is particularly important for maintaining safety when the crane is positioned on slopes or uneven ground.
