This guide is for individuals or businesses needing reliable trailer brake cables for commercial or occasional use. The key benefit is the quick-release Knott Pronto fit system combined with durable stainless steel construction, ensuring easy installation and long-lasting performance. A potential consideration is that this pack contains four cables, which may be more than needed for single-axle trailers.

Knott Pronto Fit refers to a specific quick-release system used on trailer brake cables, featuring a button for easy attachment and detachment to the trailer's compensator.
No, these cables are specifically designed for trailers using the Knott Pronto Fit system and compatible brake back plates with an 18.5mm internal cup diameter. Always check your trailer's existing fittings.
This pack contains four cables. If your trailer has one axle (two wheels), you will typically need two cables. If your trailer has two axles (four wheels), you will need four cables. This pack is ideal for twin-axle trailers or for having spares.
Stainless steel provides superior strength, durability, and resistance to rust and corrosion compared to standard galvanized steel, leading to a longer lifespan, especially in exposed environments.
No, the Pronto Fit quick-release end is specific to Knott systems. These cables will not be compatible with standard screw-type or other proprietary quick-release mechanisms.
The cables are supplied pre-lubricated. However, periodic checks and cleaning of the quick-release mechanism are recommended for optimal function. Avoid excessive lubrication, which can attract dirt.
The sheath (outer sleeve) length is 1130mm, the outer dimension (total cable length) is 1320mm, the cable diameter is 3.5mm, the sheath diameter is 10mm, and the internal diameter of the cup fitting is 18.5mm.
Ensure the quick-release button is fully depressed and aligned with the compensator. Check for any debris in the mechanism. Verify correct cable routing and that it is not kinked.
Check that the cables are correctly attached at both ends and properly adjusted. Ensure the cup is seated correctly on the brake back plate. Inspect for any damage or stretching of the cable.
Gently try to dislodge any dirt or debris around the button mechanism. A light application of lubricant (compatible with rubber/plastic) might help, but avoid excessive amounts. If it remains stuck, the cable may need replacement.
Although stainless steel offers high resistance, extreme conditions can still cause minor surface discoloration. Clean gently with a soft cloth. Significant rust or pitting may indicate underlying damage and require cable replacement.
