Brakes

Trailer brakes are key components that help trailers safely decelerate and stop, especially important when transporting heavy loads. By applying braking force directly to the trailer's wheels, they alleviate the load on the towing vehicle's brakes, enhancing safety.

Common types include electric brakes, which require a controller in the towing vehicle, and hydraulic surge brakes, often used on boat trailers. Air brakes are typically found in heavier trailers. Consider the trailer's weight and intended use when selecting a brake system to ensure compatibility and reliability.
