Description
Overview:
The Knott-Avonride Damper Kit for KFG27 and KF27 is a replacement damping unit used in trailer overrun couplings to control movement and reduce shock loads. It helps smooth the push-pull action during braking and acceleration, improving stability and comfort when towing. The assembly features a robust, painted steel body with durable rubber eye bushes and a precision 14 mm mounting hole for accurate alignment and secure fitment. Suited to equipment, plant and utility trailers commonly used in construction, landscaping and general transport, this damper restores correct coupling performance and reduces vibration and snatch. Designed for the Knott-Avonride KFG27 and KF27 couplings, it offers a practical, long-lasting fix for worn or weakened dampers that can otherwise cause poor braking response and trailer instability.
Key Features:
- 14 mm mounting eye for correct fitment to Knott-Avonride KFG27 and KF27 couplings
- Controls overrun movement to reduce vibration, snatch and oscillation when towing
- Sturdy painted steel body for strength and resistance to site conditions
- Hard-wearing rubber bush design for reliable, consistent damping
- Helps restore stable braking and smoother trailer handling under load
- Straightforward replacement with standard hand tools for minimal downtime
- Suitable for professional fleets and DIY users maintaining their own trailers
- Built for regular use on road and site, with dependable performance over time
Typical Applications:
Used on trailers fitted with Knott-Avonride KFG27 or KF27 overrun couplings, including plant and equipment trailers, builders' trailers, utility and service trailers, and general transport trailers. Ideal for site work, landscaping, agriculture yards and road use where stable towing, predictable braking, and reduced vibration are important for safety and comfort.
Also known as:
Overrun damper, coupling damper, drawbar damper, overrun shock, coupling shock absorber, brake coupling damper, tow hitch damper, trailer damper unit. These terms refer to the same type of damping component used within an overrun coupling to control fore-aft motion and smooth trailer behaviour.
