Description
Overview:
The Knott Avonride Safety Cable 240mm (MPN: 577007) is a compact secondary coupling for unbraked trailers. Built from steel wire rope with a hard-wearing, high-visibility red protective coating, it provides a simple backup connection between the trailer and the towing vehicle if the primary coupling fails. At 240 mm overall length (9.45 inches), it suits light unbraked Knott trailer couplings where a short, tidy tether is required. Typical uses include small utility, garden, and general-duty trailers towed by cars, vans, or 4x4s. Pre-fitted end fittings make attachment quick and consistent, and the tough construction resists abrasion and corrosion in everyday site and road use. This part is designed for unbraked applications and should not be used as a breakaway cable on braked trailers.
Key Features:
- 240 mm overall length (9.45 inches) for a neat, secure secondary coupling on unbraked trailers
- Steel wire rope with durable red protective sheath for visibility and corrosion resistance
- Pre-fitted end fittings for quick, reliable attachment to coupling and towing point
- Suitable for Knott Avonride unbraked trailer setups; sized for close-coupled installations
- Acts as a secondary restraint to help prevent trailer separation if the main coupling disconnects
- Robust build for frequent use by trades, DIY users, and fleet operators
- Low maintenance design; wipe clean after use and inspect periodically for wear
- Clear distinction from breakaway cables: for unbraked trailers only
Typical Applications:
Secondary coupling on small unbraked trailers used for garden waste, light building materials, tools, and site consumables. Ideal for short-bed utility trailers, box trailers, and small equipment carriers frequently hitched and unhitched on driveways, depots, and worksites. Suited to Knott Avonride unbraked coupling heads where a compact safety tether is required.
