Reliable electric drum brakes for enhanced towing safety and performance.
The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly is designed to provide efficient braking for trailers with a 4400 pound axle capacity. This assembly features a 10 inch diameter and 2-1/4 inch width, making it suitable for various trailer applications. Unlike hydraulic brakes, this electric brake system utilizes an electromagnet for actuation, ensuring a quick response time with minimal lag from the tow vehicle's braking action.
This brake assembly is manually adjustable at the controller, allowing users to tailor the braking capability to different road and load conditions. The modulated braking force helps ease the load on the towing vehicle, enhancing overall towing performance. In emergency situations, the electric brakes can provide independent braking, adding an extra layer of safety while on the road.
Included in the assembly are essential components such as the backing plate, brake shoes, magnets, actuating lever, adjusting screw, and spring hardware, ensuring a comprehensive solution for your trailer braking needs. The estimated installation time is approximately 0.5 hours, making it a practical choice for those looking to maintain or upgrade their trailer's braking system.
