Abstract

The braking system for movable container or trolley (1) is formed from three different, separate modules, namely in each case one brake module (20) on each brakeable wheel, at least one pedal module (30) and a connecting and transmission module (40) with sliding rods (42) connecting the pedal modules to all the brake modules. The brake module is operated by means of working surfaces (46) on the sliding rods (42) and has a lifting device (22) for operating the wheel brake (25). This leads to a rational, easily installable and easily operable braking system with reliable braking characteristics.
