Does this have a brake? How long would it hold a load without slipping down? Does it loose height if the power is lost or unplugged?

yes it has a brake,not sure how long it will hold a load without slipping, it has held every thing I have put on it and has worked flawlessly,nice product

from my use it does not move at all when off----no slipping. not sure if it has a break? Works good.

I have not used it yet. we are not finished hooking it up. But we did test it and it worked just fine in the test.Aloha

Yes, power is not required to hold its position, therefore it could hold indefinitely.

It can definitely roll without power. It's rather heavy (in a good way) so you'll be bumming if you need to go far.

It's pretty solid. The legs go "out" as opposed to straight down. This must help with stability. I've used it with power tools and haven't had any problems. As it gets older with more use it may wiggle a bit but so far so good.

The answer is no. I just tested this as I have a breaker in front and with it and with it off the breaker did not trip with no power.

yes and you don't have to balance it when you stop or add to the load also.

Make sure it's plugged in and has full power (try another plug maybe?). I tried once pushing it down before it was plugged in and it wouldn't stay down. If you're sure it has power then it's defective.

It just has the hand brake. So you would use that to help keep it stable while getting in and out of low seats. Hope this helps.

Mine has just fallen and it is not even full right now. I normally prop it up against the wall, or in a chair against a table when loading and unloading it. The functionality otherwise is excellent and FAR outweighs this slight.

If you brake the loose it will just not enough power I think it is 1400 inch lbs and most truck are over 100 foot lbs

I would not recommend trying to support the weight of anything from the electrical plug/cord. The cords I received are quite tight on the female end, but the male end, (blades), were never designed to support weight. I have attached restraints to keep the 1 foot cords in place within an portable cabinet. I used plastic zip ties. In this manner, there is no additional weight placed on either the cord plug, or the outlet. There are companies that make retainers to prevent cords from pulling apart, but they are normally seen on construction sites where tools are being used repeatedly and the guys just pull the cord along with the tool. Mostly the cord is tied into a knot for this purpose. For the laptop power supply, I would try to extend it to either the floor, or another location to allow the supply cord to rest on. I hope this helps, and good luck!

In addition to my previous answer, if you load it, it will take it down. You need a volt meter hooked up to it at all times.

load shedding is it drop circuits as needed to stay running so it doesnt overload

Yes it does. It has an upside down botton to make sure its on th floor. When unpressed by the weight of unit it shuts off

It trips (presumably because it overheats triggering a safety switch, not the breaker in the electric circuit) when plugged into a standard wall socket (no extension cord). It trips at HIGH setting 1200 watts but does not trip at 800 watts. She set it closer to herself and gets along at the lower setting with considerable complaint. Sorry to have been unclear in the original review which I was trying to keep short.

power supply won't go out unless you have inconsistent power from your source which usually happens when running power from a solar panel system. unless you have power surges, the power supplies will not go out. use a surge protector or power stabilizer to be sure. the unit is 14lbs so pretty easy to hang.

There isn't a brake, but soon as you let up on the orange power pad, the cart stops. And it doesn't go very fast in the forward gear anyway. I really like my cart!

No, it doesn't break down, and is very heavy 70-80 pounds! It works great for the price, but not easily transported:(
