Frequently Asked Questions
What are electric brakes and how do they work?
Electric brakes are vehicle braking systems powered by your vehicle’s electrical current. When you press your brake pedal, a signal is sent to the trailer's brakes, activating them in sync with your car or 4WD.
This reduces the strain on your towing vehicle and helps bring both units to a safe stop. Electric brakes use brake controllers, which let you adjust braking strength based on load size and driving conditions.
Do I need electric brakes for my trailer or caravan?
In Australia, trailers or caravans with a gross trailer mass (GTM) over 750kg must have brakes—and anything over 2,000kg GTM legally requires electric brakes.
Even for lighter loads, having them improves safety and towing control. If you're towing off-road, downhill, or long distances, electric brakes reduce the chance of swaying, jackknifing, or overheating your vehicle’s brakes.
Can I install electric brakes myself?
While DIY kits are available, installing electric brakes is best left to a professional.
The process involves connecting the system to your vehicle’s electrical circuits, mounting a brake controller, and wiring everything correctly to comply with road safety standards.
Improper installation can lead to dangerous towing conditions, brake failure, or legal issues. A certified technician ensures the system works reliably and is road-legal.
