Description
Overview:
This longlife detachable brake cable for Knott and Ifor Williams braking systems (MPN 211 055) is designed for reliable service on braked trailer axles. It features a protective-sheathed inner cable running within a robust outer conduit to help resist corrosion and abrasion in day-to-day fleet use. The cable is sized with a 1790 mm outer length (L1) and a 2000 mm inner length (L), providing the correct travel for many Knott-pattern backplates and compensators used by Ifor Williams. The detachable type allows straightforward removal at the backplate or equaliser end during routine maintenance or replacement. Suitable for plant, utility and general-purpose trailers built with Knott brake hardware, including a wide range of Ifor Williams applications where the specified lengths are required. The longlife design helps maintain consistent braking performance over time, especially in wet or gritty environments often encountered in construction and transport operations.
