Trailor brakes
Submitted by Faulkner Family on Sat, 2017-07-08 00:39
Hope someone can help me out.
when it comes to trailor brakes what is the minimum requirements to get a trailor licenced that is rated for 2000kg
E.G. Drum on both axles , Disc on single or electronic.
Also what are peoples thoughts on using led lights on the boat trailors, are they suitable or just go with the standard ones.

Requirements
Over 750 and up to 2000kg - single axle brakes, over-ride brakes permitted.
Over 2000kg - all wheels must be braked, must be an electro-hydraulic or similar system, must have a breakaway mechanism.

Led lights
make life easier for your self and install marine LED trailer lights , most units are brighter than standard globes and wont have any issues with lamp holders rusting up . Make sure all connections are soldered and where possible keep away from water imersion spots

Disc on front as big as possible. Def dont go drum they trap water. I would opt for hydraulic over mechanical

trailor has got hydraulic
trailor has got hydraulic drum and we have been quoted $1200 to $1300 for all new disc brakes and mechanisms as well as led lights . all fitted.
so wont be me bodging things up on the brakes
had the trailor bloke say thats all i needed as far as brakes and lights go then the trailor will pass over the pits.
just wasnt too sure as its a bit confusing about all the info on diff sites you look at
thanks to all
