Price & benefits
With Easy “Plug + Play” installation in 10 minutes or less, no car modifications are required. This means you don’t have to have your car off the road while someone fits it with a controller. Now you’ve got Elecbrakes on your caravan, horse float or trailer you can use any capable vehicle to tow.
Elecbrakes might not seem like the cheapest brake controller on the market, but once you take into account savings on installation, you’ll spend less with Elecbrakes. It will also last you the longest and you won’t need to pay for re-installation costs on any subsequent vehicles. Over the lifetime of your brake controller, this gives you even greater savings with Elecbrakes.

1. Trailer mounted brake controller for multi tow vehicle flexibility
Unlike traditional electric brake controllers, Elecbrakes is not hard- wired into the tow vehicle. Instead it is a completely trailer mounted brake controller solution.
2. Easy 10 minute electric brake controller installation
Elecbrakes requires no wiring into the trailer at all and can simply be plugged into the tow vehicle’s trailer connection. Ready to pair with the in-car remote in as little as 10 minutes.
3. Keep saving money over the lifetime of your trailer
Elecbrakes customers only invest in one unit per trailer which can then be used by an unlimited number of tow vehicles without any modifications or cost.
4. Customisable preset programs for easy user calibration
Trailer towing really isn’t a one-size-fits- all operation. Elecbrakes provides five customisable preset programs for quick future use by anyone towing that trailer.
5. Smartphone app for easy program modification and device monitoring
Our smartphone app provides all the functionality of our wireless in-car remote as well as an intuitive setup process to connect the brake controller and a host of other useful features.
6. Wireless in-car remote
The Elecbrakes in-car remote allows the user to conveniently alter the brake response on their wireless electric brake controller at the push of a button.
7. Powered entirely from standard trailer wiring
Thanks to smart software engineering, Elecbrakes is able to provide sufficient amperage to the brake magnets in an electric brake system using only standard trailer wiring.
8. Best electric over hydraulic brake controller
The most effective marine friendly brake system available is an electric over hydraulic setup. Elecbrakes allows fine tuning of the brake controller operation by providing programmable brake response programs.
9. Rugged, durable design created for Australian conditions
Elecbrakes has been specially designed to withstand all the extremes of Australia’s wild weather variations. Your electric brake controller kit will continue working perfectly in rain, hail or shine.
10. Owned, designed and manufactured in Australia
We’re proud to be part of the great aussie towing tradition. We’re passionate about giving back to the community by designing, manufacturing and keeping ownership of Elecbrakes here in Australia.
