Trailer Breakaway Cable 12mm x 4m PVC Coated Steel 3.5 Ton

A trailer breakaway cable is a small but important towing safety part used on trailers and caravans up to 3.5 ton. This replacement cable is made from PVC coated steel wire and measures 12mm x 4m, giving the reach needed for suitable towing setups.

Used as part of a trailer safety system, the cable helps apply the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes detached from the tow vehicle. It is commonly fitted during trailer servicing, caravan maintenance and general towing repairs when an older cable has become worn, damaged or corroded. Owners, workshops and anyone maintaining road-going trailers will often replace this type of part as routine safety upkeep rather than continue using tired towing gear.

The 4 metre length is useful where extra reach is needed depending on trailer arrangement, while the PVC coating adds protection around the steel wire in regular use. Supplied as a 12mm cable, it is a straightforward replacement part for suitable trailers and caravans up to 3.5 ton. For regular towing maintenance, keeping safety parts in sound condition helps avoid leaving worn components in service longer than they should be. It is also a sensible item to check and replace when going over braking and coupling parts, especially on trailers that see repeated road use or spend time stored outdoors where corrosion can become an issue.
