Product Overview
The Breaksafe BS6000 is a premium electric breakaway system designed to automatically apply trailer brakes and brake lights if your caravan, trailer, or horse float detaches from the tow vehicle. Enhanced features include a user-friendly battery compartment and fully sealed internal circuit board for superior water resistance. When separation occurs, brakes remain applied for approximately 20 minutes to give you time to secure your trailer.
