Description
Overview:
The 900mm Trailer Breakaway Cable with Carbine Hook (MPN 500 129) is a safety link designed for towing caravans, trailers and site equipment. Made from heavy-duty galvanised steel wire with a galvanised carbine hook and spring gate, it acts as a secondary coupling. If the primary coupling fails, the cable is intended to pull on the trailer's brake lever to slow the trailer safely. At 900 mm (approx. 35.4 in) long, it suits most towing setups and allows correct slack for turning. It is suitable for a wide range of light plant and trailer applications, including lighting towers such as the VT1 and VT1 Tower Light, where a reliable, corrosion-resistant safety tether is required for daily use.
Key Features:
- 900 mm length (approx. 35.4 in) provides suitable reach between trailer handbrake and tow vehicle attachment point
- Heavy-duty galvanised steel wire for strength and corrosion resistance in UK weather
- Galvanised carbine hook with spring gate for quick, secure connection to an approved point on the towbar
- Eyelet and spring fitting for positive connection to the trailer's handbrake lever
- Functions as a breakaway device to apply the trailer brakes in the event of coupling separation
- Robust construction for frequent use on road, site, and hire fleet environments
- Simple to fit and replace during routine trailer safety checks
- Compatible with a wide variety of caravans, goods trailers and lighting towers, including VT1 and VT1 Tower Light
Typical Applications:
Used on caravans, utility trailers, plant and equipment trailers, and mobile lighting towers to provide a secondary safety link. Common in construction, facilities maintenance, agriculture, hire fleets and leisure towing. Suitable for daily towing where resistance to corrosion and reliable engagement of the trailer handbrake in an emergency are essential.
