Safety Brake
The safety brake stops the platform in the event of chain failure.
When the platform is in operation, the chain tension keeps the brake
mechanism up (Figure 6) so that the brake's cam doesn't interfere with the
tower track.
If a chain failure occurs, the brake mechanism comes down (Figure 6) and the
brake cam stops the platform.

normal operation.
