Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / forklift trucks
Dutch term or phrase: "Handrem met koppeling op besturing aandrijving."
Another "technische beveiliging" from a Health and Safety Instruction sheet, this time for forklift trucks.

No more context than this one sentence.

Although I vaguely (:)) understand the concept, I am clueless as to how this should be translated.

TIA!

Explanation:
The question really is whether there's a parking brake and a clutch or a single parking brake clutch incorporated in the drive train.

I expect these remarks to be telegram style findings of a risk assessment. Unfortunately for the translator that requires quite some guesswork ;-)
