Description
Overview:
The Maypole Brakeway Cable 1M x 2mm (2x Carabiner) is a safety link for braked trailers and caravans. It connects the tow vehicle to the trailer's handbrake mechanism so the trailer brakes are applied if the coupling becomes detached. The cable uses a tough steel wire core with a red PVC coating for visibility and protection against abrasion. It measures 1 metre long (approximately 3.28 feet) with a 2 mm diameter, giving dependable strength without excess slack. Two metal carabiners are supplied for secure, tool-free attachment at both ends. Suited to everyday towing of caravans, plant and general-purpose braked trailers, it helps maintain safe operation on roads, sites, and campsites. A compact, easy-fit design makes it practical for both professional and DIY users.
Key Features:
- For braked trailers and caravans; engages the trailer brakes if the coupling detaches

Typical Applications:
Used on braked caravans, plant and equipment trailers, general-duty trailers, boat trailers, and horseboxes to provide a final failsafe during towing. Connect one carabiner to the towbar's designated breakaway point and the other to the trailer's brake lever or eye. Common for trades, hire fleets, mobile contractors, and leisure users who need a reliable, visible, and simple safety connection.
