Description
Replacement AL-KO breakaway cable 1250mm in length, designed to attach to a trailer’s coupling mechanism.
When in use, it conveniently hooks over the vehicle’s tow ball and forms a loop that securely clips back onto itself. This arrangement ensures a strong and reliable connection between the towing vehicle and the trailer.
If the trailer becomes uncoupled from the towing vehicle while on the road, the breakaway cable plays a pivotal role and activates the trailer’s brakes immediately, helping to prevent accidents and the trailer from running loose.
In this situation, the breakaway cable detaches from the tow ball, effectively severing the connection between the towing vehicle and the trailer.
Using a breakaway cable is not a matter of choice; it’s a legal requirement. This safety measure is mandated to protect all road users, ensuring that trailers are under control at all times.
