What makes Orscheln Products’ parking brake levers unique?

Here’s why Orscheln Products’ parking brakes are unique:

Orscheln is credited with inventing the “overcenter” parking brake lever.  Orscheln hand levers are designed on the principle of variable mechanical advantage, and therefore, variable hand effort. As the lever passes over center, or toggle position, the mechanical advantage is theoretically infinite. Orscheln hand levers also provide a screw-type adjustment feature which allows the operator to make system adjustments. This is accomplished by simply turning the adjustment knob on the lever handle.

Today, Orscheln Products is a leader in the parking brake industry.  Orscheln Products also offers custom parking brake levers, and when custom designs are needed, we offer many options and variations.
