Coupling Hardware & Spares

Trailer Park Brakes
Trailer park brakes play an indispensable role in ensuring safety, stability, and efficiency. They provide several benefits that contribute to a smoother and more secure towing experience.
Hand Brakes Prevent Accidents
Park brakes (also known as hand brakes) ensure stability during parking and other stationary moments.

They prevent the trailer from rolling or shifting unexpectedly, which can happen on inclined surfaces or uneven terrains.

This stability not only prevents accidents but also makes the process of hitching and unhitching trailers more manageable.

It eliminates the need for relying solely on wheel chocks.

In conclusion, hand brakes are a crucial component of safe and efficient towing.
Used with Trailer Couplings
Trailer park brakes are used in conjunction with trailer couplings like the AL-KO 3500kg 50mm Ball Coupling or Couplemate CM255 6000kg Ring Coupling.

These levers are typically bolted under the coupling, often using a standardised bolt-hole pattern, such as the Australian standard 4-hole (180mm x 52mm). 2-hole patterns are also common.
Different Types Available
Trailer drawbars and coupling type will determine which hand brake is needed. The most common three types are:

Marine
Low Profile
Push Button
