A breakaway cable is a safety device designed to activate the brakes on a trailer if it becomes detached from the towing vehicle.
Yes, it is a legal requirement for all braked trailers in many regions.
Inspect the cable before each journey and regularly check for wear and tear.
If the cable breaks, the trailer brakes will not activate in the event of a detachment. The cable should be replaced immediately if damage is detected.
This breakaway cable is designed for braked trailers up to 3.5T. Always check the specifications to ensure compatibility with your trailer.
If the cable activates, safely stop the vehicle and assess the situation. Check the trailer and towing vehicle for any damage and replace the cable before further use.
Attach the carabiner end of the cable to a secure point on the towing vehicle, such as the tow bar.
The cable is 1 meter long.
Check the cable connections at both the vehicle and trailer ends. Ensure the cable is correctly attached to the breakaway mechanism on the trailer. Inspect for any damage to the cable itself.
Ensure the carabiner is the correct size and type for your vehicle. Try a different attachment point on the vehicle if possible. Check for obstructions that might be preventing the carabiner from connecting properly.
Verify that the burst ring is compatible with your trailer's breakaway system. Ensure the cable is the correct length and isn't too short to connect properly.
