KNOTT to Unveil New Electric Parking Brake

KNOTT is revolutionizing parking brake technology with its new electric spring-loaded sliding caliper, dubbed the E-FSG. Unlike its hydraulic predecessor, the E-FSG eliminates the need for valves, lines, and hydraulics entirely. This innovation opens doors for reliable parking brakes in vehicles where hydraulics were previously a barrier. Designed for practicality, the E-FSG retains KNOTT’s signature durability and ease of installation, making it ideal for construction site vehicles. Visitors can explore this game-changer at BAUMA 2025 in Munich from April 7-13 at Stand A4.438.

Key Highlights

  • Low maintenance: Building on the classic FSG’s minimal upkeep, the electric version takes it a step further with its streamlined, hydraulic-free system.
  • New applications: This brake can now be used in vehicles or environments where hydraulics weren’t feasible, expanding its reach.
  • Rugged and reliable: Dirt-protected and robust, it’s built to withstand tough conditions on construction sites and off-road areas while remaining compact and easy to install.

This launch marks a significant shift for KNOTT, a company known for developing braking solutions for a variety of segments. The E-FSG not only enhances efficiency but also aligns with modern demands for simpler, more adaptable vehicle systems.

For industry professionals, the E-FSG could redefine expectations for parking brakes, offering a glimpse into the future of vehicle engineering. Those interested in seeing it firsthand should mark their calendars for BAUMA 2025, where KNOTT will showcase this cutting-edge technology at Stand A4.438 in Munich, running April 7-13.
