A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully self-locking. Air brake systems (on semis, for instance) hold the brakes open only when air is supplied. If you blow the air the brakes lock under spring pressure.

Is a parking brake system required if your service brakes are fully functional?

Yes, a parking brake system is required regardless of the functionality of the service brakes. The parking brake acts as an additional safety measure to secure the vehicle and prevent unintended movement when it is parked. It is a separate system from the service brakes and must be functional and in good working condition.

A parking brake system is not required if your service brakes are fully functional?

In the UK the parking brake is called the handbrake, a motor vehicle must, by law, have at least two independent ways of applying the brakes. This is normally achieved on a car by having the foot brake hydraulically or, rarely, pneumatically operated and the hand brake cable operated.Added: (in the US) you must also have an operational parking (or hand) brake.In Canada, at least, (and I strongly suspect in USA and Australia) that is wrong. You DO require a parking brake as an emergency standby. The point is your regular brakes depend on hydraulic fluid and rubber seals, while the parking or emergency brake depends on cables. -A totally separate system.You also need the parking brake when parking the vehicle on an incline. The transmission park pawl may break causing the vehicle to roll off if you have no parking brake.

What Are spring brakes on a tractor trailer rig?

They're not just on tractor-trailers - you'll find them on most air brake equipped vehicles. Spring brakes can be described as parking brakes. That's the simple answer. They are brakes which are held down by a spring. When air pressure is introduced into the system, via the service air system, the air pushes against those brakes, forcing the spring to compress, and releasing the brakes. The air pressure must remain constant in order for the spring brakes to remain released.


Are service brake lines and control brake lines the same thing on an air brake system?

The service brake is the one which applies the brakes - the emergency brake system is the system which releases the spring brakes.
