Matbro Telehandler
I know some people on here are plant fitters, so hopefully you might be able to give us some advice.

Looking at buying a Matbro Telehandler, not sure of model no. But I think it is a TS160.

The problem is the brakes don't work, are there any common faults with the brakes on them, and if so what are the likely repair costs?

Can't help much more - used to sell them, not fix them !

Friction discs approx £85.00
Or is it a drum braked axle????

Any idea of the age, model etc?

I used to look after an older one years ago, and ended up replacing the foot valve, due to poor brakes.
I know they have came on a long way since then!

I do have a few workshop manuals kicking about for these if I can find them?? 80" 80" 86" 88" 90"

Wanted, Forward Control Anything considered.

Thanks Guys, have spoken to the seller this morning who has confirmed that it is a TS260 approx. 1995, and also spoke to Wayne at Matbro-Man, who has given me some very helpful pointers.

I am now more confident that the brakes are not a major issue, having spoken to Wayne, and the owner has also informed me that it had a Loler on it in May 2016, so everything must have been okay then.

As other people have said this forum has a fountain of all knowledge

Thanks everyone, however, would appreciate any pearls of wisdom other people may have for us.

If we buy the machine, Ian I would be interested in any manuals that you do have.
