Daewoo's exclusive Oil-Cooled Disc Brake system, now an option on the company's electric lift trucks, is designed to last five times longer than hydraulic shoe brakes.

The system ensures non-fade braking in extreme conditions, including fast, short-shuttle applications as well as ramp loading and unloading operations. The system design provides more than 3200 cm² (500 in² ) of braking surface, compared with about 650 cm² (100 in² ) found on standard automotive-type shoe brakes used by most other lift truck manufacturers.

Heat generated during braking is transferred directly to the differential oil and axle housing. This method of heat dissipation ensures even distribution of heat throughout the axle and eliminates potential problems associated with excessive heat buildup in shoe brakes and drums. Daewoo's system is designed to last five times longer than hydraulic shoe brakes and requires no adjustment, has no springs or star adjusters, and is virtually maintenance-free.

The complete ODB system is mounted in the wheel hubs, so access is fast and easy if servicing is required. It is completely sealed to protect the friction material and separator plates from water, abrasives, and corrosive contamination and to eliminate traditional shoe brake problems attributed to moisture buildup that occurs when freezer trucks enter warmer areas.
