Electric Trailer Brake 12" x 2" Self-Adjusting Assembly | 2 Pairs 7000 lbs

Upgrade your trailer's stopping power with a set of self-adjusting electric brakes. This kit includes two complete assemblies, each measuring 12 inches by 2 inches, designed for trailers with a gross weight rating of up to 7000 lbs. You get reliable, consistent braking without the hassle of manual adjustments.

These electric trailer brakes are built for long-term use. They feature a self-adjusting mechanism that keeps the brake pads at the correct distance from the drum, ensuring smooth and even braking every time you hit the road. The semi-metallic, asbestos-free brake pads provide strong friction with a coefficient of 0.48, giving you confidence when hauling heavy loads.

Installation is straightforward for the DIY enthusiast. Each assembly comes with a 12-inch magnet and a 5-stud flange, making it compatible with many common trailer axles. The robust construction uses SPHC and Q235 steel for the backing plate and internal components, designed to withstand the demands of towing, camping, and cargo transport.

Each brake is rigorously checked and packaged to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. With a lifespan rated for over 30,000 kilometers of use, this kit is a smart investment for anyone who relies on their trailer for work or recreation. The self-adjusting feature saves you time and maintenance, letting you focus on your journey.

Usage Scenario

Mark was planning a cross-country camping trip with his travel trailer. His old brakes required constant manual adjustment, and he was tired of crawling under the trailer before every trip. He decided to upgrade to these self-adjusting electric brakes. After a straightforward weekend installation, he hit the road. Now, every time he stops, the brakes feel consistent and firm. He no longer worries about brake fade on steep mountain passes, and he has more time to set up camp and relax with his family.
