VEHICLE STANDARDS
Australian Design Rule 38/05 mandates that for all trailers having a Gross Trailer
Mass over 2,000 kg, an emergency braking system is required on all wheels and must
be capable of automatically activating should the trailer become detached from the
tow vehicle. In such a situation the brakes must remain active for a minimum of 15
minutes.
TRAILSAFE
TrailSafe is a system designed to activate the electric brakes of a trailer, caravan (or
similar) in the event of a disconnection from the towing vehicle. It utilises the house
battery located on the trailer to activate the electric brake system and brake lights on
the trailer in the emergency breakaway situation.
TrailSafe also provides an indication of the charge status of the house battery and
checks the condition of the Pull Pin and effective activation of the brakes. This
information is displayed via a multi coloured LED on the TrailSafe unit and also on the
Bluetooth TrailCheck available for in-car monitoring if installed.
Mechanical Pull Pin is forcibly detached when the towing vehicle becomes separated
from the trailer to detect the disconnection. Upon disconnection, the brakes and
brake lights are activated as long as charge remains in the trailer battery or until the
pin is replaced.
