Trailer Brake Controllers

Trailer Brake Controls

It takes a lot of power to stop a moving trailer while keeping it under control, especially when that trailer is hauling a heavy load. Quite often a good set of trailer brakes just isn’t enough by itself to make quick, efficient stops. It takes precision and the right amount of brake control to guide your trailer to a controlled stop. That’s where a trailer brake controller comes in. Northern Tool’s trailer brake controller selection offers a variety of styles to handle the size and type of trailer attached to your tow vehicle. From breakaway kits and switches to complete brake control kits, impulse controllers, time-based brake controllers, electronic brake controllers and more. You can even find Bluetooth-enabled trailer brake control models that allow you to wirelessly tap into your trailer’s brake system and monitor and control all brake activity right from your own device.

Trailer brakes controlled by the right trailer brake controller can also help reduce wear and tear on your trailer and tow vehicle. Since there are so many different styles, sizes and types of trailers in use on roadways across the nation, you’ll find a comprehensive group of brake controllers available to make it easier to match the needs of your particular trailer. Some variables to consider when looking for your controller are the number of axles and the number of brakes a specific controller can handle. A dual axle trailer would require a controller that can capably handle at least 4 individual wheel brakes, etc. Overall size (will it fit the available space on your trailer or tow vehicle?) and the inclusion of/need to add mounting hardware should also be taken into consideration. You won’t go wrong with the quality of these trailer brake controllers, as we carry products from some of the top brands in the business.
