Dexter Trailer Brake Shoe (MPN: 040-320-02)

Reliable braking solution for Dexter air brake systems.

The Dexter Trailer Brake Shoe is designed to fit 12-1/4 inch diameter by 7-1/2 inch width air brake systems, specifically for the left side. This brake shoe operates using electric brakes, which function similarly to automotive drum brakes but are actuated by an electromagnet instead of hydraulic pressure. This design allows for efficient braking performance tailored to the specific needs of trailer operation.

One of the key features of this brake shoe is its manual adjustment capability at the controller, enabling users to optimize braking performance based on varying road and load conditions. The system is modulated to provide adjustable braking force, which helps to ease the load on the towing vehicle. Additionally, the brake shoe exhibits minimal lag time between the actuation of the tow vehicle's brakes and the trailer brakes, ensuring a responsive braking experience.

In emergency situations, the Dexter Trailer Brake Shoe can provide independent braking, enhancing safety and control. This product is a single unit, making it a straightforward replacement option for maintaining the integrity of your trailer's braking system.
