86437 12 'electric brake No matter how fast you drive, you need a lot of power to slow down the enormous weight of the tractor and its trailer. You need more than just the brakes of the tractor. You need a complete trailer braking system. It is estimated that 12% to 15% of the trailer weight should be placed on the towing vehicle's hitch.

The buffer brake is applied by a mechanism connected to the receiver/ball joint. When the towing vehicle slows down, the forward motion of the trailer compresses the mechanism, which in turn applies the trailer brakes. Motorcycle trailers do not require braking unless their total weight exceeds 1500 pounds. If you install brakes on a motorcycle trailer, please ensure that the braking force of the brakes is not greater than the braking force of the motorcycle, otherwise the motorcycle may flip backwards on the trailer when using the brakes. The brakes must always be adjusted correctly.

Do I need a trailer brake for my trailer? Any trailer or camping trailer with a total weight of 1500 pounds or more requires braking. Under normal circumstances, the braking ability of the tractor is good; However, this may not be enough to safely prevent the trailer weight from increasing by hundreds to thousands of pounds. Most traditional and five wheel trailers have electric brakes that are activated by the controller on the tractor. Controller automatic coordination Tractor and trailer, so that the two systems work together when the brake pedal is pressed. The controller also helps to stabilize trailers that sway due to harsh road conditions. Using the manual lever on the controller to manually apply the trailer brake will stabilize the trailer that may swing. Folding camping trailers and marine trailers are usually equipped with surge braking systems that operate separately from the brakes of the towing vehicle.
