NOW AVAILABLE! MEET ELECBRAKES SWAYCONTROL

2 min read


Towing just got safer. Elecbrakes has raised the bar again in towing safety with the launch of SwayControl, a built-in feature now standard on every EB2 and VM1 electric brake controller.

Engineered to detect and control trailer sway, SwayControl keeps you stable, confident, and in control — automatically. No add-ons, no extra cost. Just smarter, safer towing every time you hit the road.

Tested Where It Matters Most

From highways to backroads, our engineers spent countless hours pushing rigs to their limits. By combining real-world Australian road testing with advanced simulation, we built a deep data set to refine the SwayControl algorithm again and again.

The result? A system that responds early, reacts quickly, and sustains braking to bring your trailer back under control. In other words: reliable protection when you need it most.

We set our engineers a goal: redefine towing safety.

Safety You Can See

The Elecbrakes App gives you complete control and real-time insights into your towing setup — from diagnostics to customisable programs. With SwayControl built into your EB2 or VM1, you’re using a seamless, integrated towing safety solution that constantly monitors your trailer dynamics to deliver the precise response you need.

Through the App, you can fine-tune SwayControl sensitivity to suit your trailer setup perfectly –  or disable it when required, such as with unladen trailers or off-road conditions. This smart, single system adapts to any vehicle and trailer combination, providing confidence every time you tow.

You’ll also see the Trailer Stability Gauge, a live visual indicator of your trailer’s stability. The gauge widens as more instability is detected, giving you a clear signal if sway begins. If you notice frequent instability while driving, it’s a prompt to reduce your speed or review your trailer setup for safety.

Watch the App in action in this video, highlighting diagnostics, program adjustments and intuitive feedback.

Safety Comes Standard

SwayControl is more than an update — it’s a built-in safety feature designed to protect our towing community on every journey. Whether you’re towing a caravan, boat, horse float or work trailer, you’ll have the confidence that your Elecbrakes brake controller with SwayControl is always working in the background to keep you stable.

Safer. Smarter. More confident towing – built in.
