AL-KO Looped Breakaway Cable – Essential Safety for Towed Vehicles
Stay safe and compliant with the AL-KO Looped Breakaway Cable, designed for secure looped attachment to ensure your trailer, caravan, or horsebox brakes engage automatically in the rare event of detachment from the towing vehicle. This 1-metre cable, featuring a 3mm galvanised steel core with a high-visibility red plastic casing, is engineered for looping around the towball, with a clip that fastens back onto the cable and a hook for secure connection to the trailer’s handbrake.
