Description
Overview:
The 1200mm D-Link Breakaway/ Secondary Cable is a safety device for braked trailers, designed to apply the trailer's brakes if the coupling separates from the towball. Made from a tough, wear-resistant steel cable with a protective outer jacket, it provides a dependable connection between the trailer's brake lever and a fixed point on the tow vehicle. A sturdy D-link (D-shackle) offers a secure attachment to suitable anchor points. At 1200mm (1.2m / approximately 47 inches), the cable length gives enough reach for normal turning without excess slack. Suitable for plant and utility trailers, caravans, boat trailers, horseboxes, and general towing setups used with cars, vans, and 4x4s. It is a practical upgrade or replacement for maintaining safe towing practice.
