The White Drive Products Release Pump (RP) is a device designed to replace existing, costly and complicated hydraulic brake release hand pumps that are present on various types of mobile equipment. The RP is typically used to release various types of spring applied/hydraulically released brakes. Depending on the brake, typically 1-5 pumps of the RP will release the brake. This enables equipment to be moved to a service area or a recharge/refuel station.

To operate the RP, the equipment operator must depress the valve rod until it is firmly seated. The operator must then pump the pump rod until the brakes are released. If the hydraulic circuit is pressurized at any time during or after the RP has released the brakes, the valve rod will automatically pop out and the mobile equipment will revert to it’s normal operation. This serves as a built in safety feature that ensures the equipment’s normal braking operation is never accidentally disabled.

The RP is a simplified product compared to competitive brands that are currently available. In addition, the product is a cost competitve alterative that offers superior performance and design flexibility.
