Reliable electric drum brakes for enhanced towing safety and performance.
The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly is designed for 12 inch diameter and 2 inch width applications, providing a robust braking solution for trailers with a 7000 pound axle capacity. This electric brake system operates similarly to automotive drum brakes, utilizing an electromagnet for actuation, which ensures a responsive braking experience. The assembly features manual adjustment capabilities at the controller, allowing for precise braking performance tailored to varying road and load conditions.
With minimal lag time between the tow vehicle's brake activation and the trailer's response, this system enhances safety during towing. In emergency situations, the electric brakes can function independently of the tow vehicle, offering additional stopping power when needed. The assembly includes essential components such as backing plates, brake shoes, magnets, and actuating levers, ensuring a comprehensive solution for trailer braking needs.
