AL-KO Safety Brake Cable – Caravan Breakaway and Safety Cable

The AL-KO Safety Brake Cable is a critical safety accessory for caravans, trailers and horseboxes with overrun brakes. It’s also commonly referred to as a breakaway cable, and its purpose is to automatically engage the caravan’s brakes should the towing vehicle become detached from the trailer while on the road.

Constructed with multi-strand galvanised wire and a high-visibility red PVC coating, this cable meets legal safety requirements and ensures reliable brake activation in an emergency scenario.

Why Choose This Safety Brake Cable?

  • 🛡 Essential Legal Safety Accessory – Required for all braked trailers and caravans under UK law to protect against runaway situations.

  • 🔴 High Visibility Coating – Red PVC outer sheath improves visibility and corrosion resistance.

  • 🔗 Strong & Durable Construction – Multi-strand galvanised wire core for dependable performance.

  • 🧰 Easy to Fit – Standard hook and clip fittings make it quick to attach to your coupling and tow vehicle.

  • 🚚 Compatible with AL-KO Braked Couplings – Designed to work with AL-KO overrun brake systems.

How It Works

  1. Attach one end of the cable to the designated point on your tow vehicle (preferred mounting point on towbar).

  2. Connect the other end to the handbrake lever or attachment point on the caravan’s AL-KO overrun coupling.

  3. In the rare event the caravan detaches while towing, the cable will pull free and engage the caravan’s brakes, helping bring it safely to a stop.

  4. After activation, the cable must be replaced immediately to maintain safety compliance.

Who It’s For

  • Caravan owners towing with AL-KO braked couplings

  • Trailer and horsebox owners requiring a legal breakaway cable

  • Anyone prioritising towing safety and legal compliance

Why Buy This Safety Brake Cable?

A correctly fitted breakaway cable is not just a legal requirement — it’s a life-saving safety device. In the unlikely event of hitch failure or separation, this cable ensures your caravan’s overrun brake system engages promptly, reducing the risk of an uncontrolled runaway. Built with durability, high visibility and compatibility in mind, the AL-KO Safety Brake Cable offers peace of mind on every journey
