ABSTRACT

A lift cart (10) includes a lift table (22) that moves between a raised
position and a lowest position and a braking device (32)_attached to the lift
cart (10). A braking device (32) includes an actuator (34), a linkage bar, and
a first brake assembly. The linkage bar connects to the actuator (34). The
linkage bar translates in a first direction upon activation of the actuator
(34). The first brake assembly connects to the linkage bar. The first brake
assembly moves from a deployed state to a retracted state as the linkage bar
translates in the first direction.
