Why Are Electric Brake Controllers Required For Towing a Trailer?

A new type of electric brake controller is increasingly gaining popularity around Australia. The conventional controllers are mounted in the dashboard, hardwire and require an auto-electrician to make modifications to the tow vehicle. This means that only one particular vehicle in the family or work fleet is then equipped to tow the trailer.

Electro-brakes has revolutionised the towing experience. Technicians today have developed wireless electric brake controllers that mount to the trailer itself, rather than the tow vehicle. The device is powered entirely through the standard trailer wiring so does not require any additional auto electrical modifications. The brake response is modified either by an in-wireless remote control or sometimes even through a smartphone app.

How are Electric Brakes Different?

One of the most important pieces of equipment any caravan owner can buy is an electric brake controller. To safely slow down towing vehicles and trailers, brake controllers send the right amount of power to a trailer’s set of brakes. The latest launch in the category is a remote mount electric trailer brake controller that gets installed directly rather than within the tow vehicle.

Electric brakes and their controllers are essential for managing heavier loads, as significant power and control are required to bring the weight of the trailer (and the towing vehicle) to a complete stop. A smart, trailer-based wireless electric brake controller makes towing much simpler and gives the owner of the vehicle the freedom to be more flexible and spontaneous to tow with a broader range of vehicles.

Installing a brake controller is a fairly easy task. It consists of finding the right place to mount the device and hooking up the right set of wires. However, for efficiency and safety hiring professionals for the service is often recommended.

Conclusion

The easy installation, cost-savings, and multi tow vehicle flexibility offered by multiple businesses make this revolutionary wireless electric brake controller the best choice for anyone who wants to tow with the best.
