Electric brake carts

The multiple-cart brake system in Topper Industrial's electric carts is powered by the towing vehicle. Each cart, which can hold up to 15,000 pounds, has a front and rear plug to connect it to the next. All braking systems work simultaneously: as the towing vehicle operator presses the brakes, the line comes to a full stop. Each cart is loaded and unloaded by crane or forklift and is used to transport large amounts of materials that would otherwise require multiple trips on forklifts.
