If the trailer that is equipped with own over-run brakes accidentally detaches from the ball head while being towed a breakaway cable automatically triggers the trailer brake.
In many countries a breakaway cable is mandatory. In the case of trailers with no brakes, the use of a safety cable or a chain may still be required. Some countries require the cable to be attached to an eyelet rather than loosely fitting it over the towbar.
Regardless of the regulations a breakaway cable fitted to an eyelet is always recommended when towing.
Rameder, Europe’s market leader in towbars and transport accessories, is now offering a breakaway cables for only € 6.99 and a compatible safety clamp is only € 11.99.
