i don;t believe anyone would right you for caging a brake chamber to get to a shop ....but now if ya cage it til you get home next week and keep running on it yep oos there brake is inoperative
RAGE 18 Thanks this. -
Caging a brake disables it, hence the violation.
Studebaker Hawk Thanks this. -
Caged brake chamber only for towtruck use. I guess you could cage it to get to the nearest shop as long as there is no scales. I would surely say oos if u get inspected and running that way.
Brickman Thanks this. -
RAGE 18 and Ranger Bob Thank this.

Caging only disables the spring brake or parking brake so you still have that service brake working
Tb0n3, Ranger Bob and RAGE 18 Thank this. -
You are not required to have an emergency brake on every chamber and the service side IS working. So the brake is not inoperative.
I'm not asking if it's OOS. I'm only asking- is it a brake violation under the Federal Regs?

Why and how do you "cage" a brake chamber?
