  • WHAT ARE ELECBRAKES?

    Elecbrakes is a trailer mounted electric brake controller, wired directly into the trailers electrical circuit via an easy to use “Plug + Play” adaptor. 

    Elecbrakes draws power from the taillight circuit as well as the brake light circuit ensuring sufficient power is available for up to two braked axles.

  • CAN I BUILD MY OWN TRAILER?

    You can build your trailer, but registering it for on-road use is very difficult.

     

    From strict engineering processes to destructive testing standards, VTA's (vehicle type approvals) and more, obtaining a VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) for these trailers can be time-consuming and costly.


    From 1 July 2023, all trailers will need to meet full compliance to the relevant Australian Design Rules (ADRs). Vehicle Standards Bulletin 1 (VSB1) will no longer be accepted as an alternative method of compliance for new trailers.
