HYDRAULIC BOAT TRAILER BRAKE CALIPER GALVANISED HBCG

DESCRIPTION

The hydraulic brake calipers provide reliable and efficient braking in almost all conditions. Due to the galvanised cast iron body and stainless steel piston, it has an improved resistance to corrosion. These brake calipers work in a similar manner to the mechanical ones as they both use the inertia acted on the overide coupling for activation. Brake fluid from the master cylinder is sent quickly through the lines to the caliper, pushing the pads onto the disc and slowing down your trailer.
Trailers with a GTM over 2000kg require an independent controller and breakaway unit, should the tow vehicle become disconnected. Trailers with a GTM under 2000kg can be operated using just the standard hydraulic overide coupling.
All small parts of the caliper including bushes, springs, bolts etc. are made from stainless steel to provide as much resistance to corrosion as possible and will continue to function after exposure.
Advantages

Increased stopping power compared to drum brakes
Better heat dissipation
Low maintainence and easily serviceable
Dacromet coated for salt water corrosion resistance
Less movement from coupling piston required for brake activation
Can be used with majority of disc hubs or rotors

Included

1 x Hydraulic brake caliper with stainless steel piston, pads and bushes
