The DeeMaxx Difference

Close-up image of DeeMaxx disc brake installation

When brakes retain heat, they are more likely to experience brake fade, or loss of braking power. DeeMaxx addresses this problem by incorporating drainage holes in the hat section of each vented rotor to provide even more ventilation than other brands. Combining these holes with the conventional venting allows DeeMaxx brakes to disperse heat faster. They're also able to shed moisture better, leading to less internal corrosion. The result is cooler-running, longer-lasting brakes that offer consistent performance.


DeeMaxx brakes are the only trailer brakes to satisfactorily pass the high standards of the SAE J2681 brake test. This test is designed to evaluate the friction performance of automotive brakes, so DeeMaxx's passing grade should tell you just how well made these products are.


Close-up image of DeeMaxx disc brake installation of brackets

The patented design of the caliper mounting bolt and sleeve makes installation easier while ensuring that the sleeves stay in place within the caliper. In addition, the side-support design of the caliper mounting bracket puts all of the weight on the bracket instead of on the bolts. This reduces premature wear and extends the life of the bolts, further ensuring optimal performance.


DeeMaxx brakes perform well even in the most demanding environments, which is one of the many reasons why they are preferred by law enforcement agencies like the Texas State Patrol, U.S. Border Patrol, and U.S. Coast Guard.


Great for Campers and Boat Trailers

If you own a trailer, you know that rust and corrosion will eventually creep up no matter where you tow, especially if your equipment doesn't have any kind of protective coating or plating. But if you tow your camper or trailer in the Midwest during the winter, or if you ever launch your boat in brackish water, you'll need even more protection because of the salt you'll likely encounter.


disc brake with signs of heavy rust and corrosion

The Maxx coating on the rotors, calipers, and brackets in this kit helps to ensure that DeeMaxx brakes don't end up looking like the one pictured above. It offers great corrosion protection, even with occasional use in freshwater and saltwater. Rust-resistant coatings are graded according to a salt spray rating. Basically, this rating shows the amount of time it takes for a material to show signs of corrosion when exposed to pure, continuous salt spray. Zinc plating typically begins to deteriorate after about 100 hours. Dacromet usually lasts for around 300 to 400 hours. DeeMaxx's Maxx coating lasts for more than 1,000 hours in the salt spray test.


The environment this test creates is much harsher than anything you'll ever experience in your journeys, but it provides a testament to how well DeeMaxx brakes resist rust and corrosion.


If you're living the salt life full-time or you live right on the coast, you'll probably want to invest in something that offers even more protection, like DeeMaxx kits that include stainless steel components for the ultimate in corrosion resistance.


Get a Safer, More Comfortable Ride

Say goodbye to the days of your truck being pushed and pulled by your trailer. Disc brakes provide a safer, more comfortable ride than drum brakes. They offer shorter stopping distances and deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds. So, you won't have to worry about things crashing around in your trailer or camper next time you reach unexpected traffic on the highway or debate if you can actually stop before that yellow light turns red.


Save Time and Money

More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes. Not only do disc brakes provide more controlled braking than drum brakes, but they also save you money by having fewer parts to maintain.


side-by-side comparison of an electric drum brake and a hydraulic disc brake

Unlike drum brakes, which have springs, magnets, and shoes that may need to be continually adjusted or replaced, disc brakes are virtually maintenance-free. There are no springs, cables, or other little components that you'll need to worry about failing.


close-up image of DeeMaxx disc brake caliper parts

The brake pads will naturally wear down, so eventually you'll have to replace them. But these pads are also way easier to replace than drum brake shoes. And the caliper - where the pads are housed - is located on the outside of the brake assembly. This means you just have to remove that one part to replace the brake pads rather than having to remove the entire assembly like you would with drum brakes. The same is true for the slip-on rotors in this kit.


instructions on how to bleed brakes laser etched into the back of a DeeMaxx disc brake caliper

DeeMaxx also has simple instructions for bleeding the brakes laser-etched on the back of the calipers. This convenient time saver means you'll always have the guidance you need on hand when the time comes for maintenance.

Perfect fit to the original trailer bra kes!

DeeMaxx parts seem to last longer in our saltwater than the Kodiak. I had both until the Kodiaks locked up. I bought this set to replace the Kodiaks that were a couple years newer than the Deemaxx.

Absolutely a great experience. Neil is a high communicator, which I need. He helped me correct my order and shipped immediately. I now know where to get my trailer stuff. Thanks

Everything about this order went extremely well. Rotors and brakes are a major improvement of the standard equipment that came with Venture trailer. Simple to install and time will tell on longevity.



by:

The package fit my boat trailer perfectly. Installation was fairly easy and I am ver pleased with the product. thanks



by:

I previously purchased Deemax rotors, calipers with pads and wouldn’t fit my mounting brackets on my venture trailer. I called Stacy at customer service at etrailer and she worked with me and my issues to return the previous shipment (awaiting credit) . She had me buy 2 sets of the brake kits by Deemax which is for 4 wheels of rotors, calipers with pads and mounting brackets and they are great . The brakes and rotors on my trailer were shot, rusted beyond repair and I’ve started to tear them out and replace them all , the rusted bolts are they worst I’ve dealt with- see the photo for the look of the new rotors , bracket and still installing calipers.



by:

The parts themselves are great, but the packaging was AWFUL. A big box with two rotors in it, with loose calipers and pads banging around inside with no additional packaging material to cushion these parts. Disappointed in the etrailer customer service team, who passed the blame to the shippers. I'm sorry, but the shippers didn't package these...etrailer did.



by:

Easy to install and looks great.



by:

I wasn’t sure what parts would fit my trailer so I called for information. Ashley L directed me to the correct disk brake kit which turned out to be the exact fit. A relatively easy install and now I’m back on the road again.



by:

I have used these brakes on a boat trailer that is used in saltwater and so far it has been working with a small amount of corrosion. I think they will be good for another couple of years but will replace with stainless steel next time.



by:

Fast Shipping, the brake kit is super easy to install and is working great.

  • What Is Included With The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit DE42FR?
    Hello Jerry, cool car! I see you were looking at the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE42FR. This is a disc brake kit intended for a trailer with a standard 3,500 lb axle. It has slip-on rotors that will work with an idler hub for a 3,500 lb axle like part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. The kit includes rotors, calipers, caliper brackets and brake pads. This is typically not something we recommend for motor vehicles. These parts are designed for non-turning, non-driving trailer axles. I have heard of...

  • Replacement Disc Brakes and Actuator for Magnum Boat Trailer
    Hey Michael! It sounds like that is a UFP H-1377 which would be a 3,500 lb hub using the standard bearing combination. I'm guessing you have slip on rotors based on that information. If you want to use the existing hubs the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE42FR is the best option. If you want to go ahead and replace everything I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD87FR which cost a little bit more. Disc brakes are always on the higher end, these are the most budget friendly available. I don't...

    Hey Ryan, thanks for reaching out. We certainly should have a disc brake kit that will work for you, but there is no way to know exactly what kit you will need based on the make and model of trailer. Trailer manufacturers just do not make this kind of info available online. Specifically, I will need to know your axle weight capacity, and your inner/outer bearing sizes. This way we can be sure you get the right brake assembly, and correct hubs for your trailer. For example, what we see...

    Hey Nicholas, thanks for reaching out! The rotors in the E-Coat Dexter Disc Brake Kit # K71-633-2 are being discontinued so even if we had everything else available separately in a different kit I'd recommend going with a different disc brake kit so you can easily find replacement parts in the future. I actually recommend using the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE42FR instead because it has the Maxx coating which is far more resistant than other coatings that calipers and rotors have. The...

  • DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for 7k Tandem Axles 9/16" Wheel Studs
    Hey James, we can help but we don't have the complete kit you are looking for as a single part number. For the slip on rotor brake kit you'd want the part # DE49YR. You'd need two of these since you have a tandem axle trailer. Then for the actuator you would need the part # DE77SR and then for the brake line kit part # DE57SR and you'd be set. If instead you were wanting hub/rotors that were integrated you'd want the part # DE68YR instead of the # DE49YR.

  • Are Trailer Brakes Similar To Vehicle Brakes?
    Hey David, thanks for reaching out. There are two common kinds of brakes for trailers. Drum brakes can be either hydraulic or electric, or it would be a hydraulic disc brake setup. The hydraulic disc brakes would be the most similar to what you see on most vehicles. There are some kits that come with slip-on rotors like part # DE42FR, and the rotors could be removed without removing the idles hub and bearings. For trailer drum brakes, all of the drums will be one piece like part # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K....

    Hello Kenny, thanks for reaching out. We may have what you need, but there is no way to look up your trailer to know exactly what rotors will fit. So I will need a bit more information first. Do you happen to know the weight capacity of each axle? That will help to narrow things down. There should be a casting number on the back of each hub/rotor. If you can provide me with that casting number, I should be able to use that to pull up your hub/bearing info. If you can't find the casting...

  • What Info is Needed to Add Brakes to a Trailer or Replace Axle
    We don't have the ability to know exactly what your trailer would require in terms of braking components or a replacement axle. You'd need to check out the axle to determine it's capacity for the braking components but due to age it may have components that aren't used any longer so to verify you'd need to pull the hubs off and get the diameter of the spindles where the bearings ride or the bearing numbers. We'd also need the wheel bolt pattern. For axle replacement you'd need to know...

  • Do You Need an Actuator for the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit - 10" Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - 3.5K
    The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit part # DE42FR will require an actuator for operation. This can be either a traditional surge actuator or an electric over hydraulic actuator. If you're looking for an electric over hydraulic actuator, I recommend the Hydrastar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator with Line Kit part # CAR-HBA16-2. If you're looking for a traditional surge actuator, you can choose one from the list below. In regards to bleeding, you'll simply follow the instructions provided with the actuator.

    The DeeMaxx Trailer Idler Hub # DE36VR is designed to fit with DeeMaxx 10" Rotor with Maxx Coating # DE47VR or Stainless # DE67VR. Typically you will get either the Maxx Coating Brake Kit # DE42FR or Stainless Brake Kit # DE72FR which includes the rotors, calipers and mounting brackets for one axle. The Hub # DE36VR will require an Inner Bearing # L68149, Outer Bearing # L44649, Grease Seal # 58846 and grease cap.

We do also have the DeeMaxx Trailer Idler Hub # DE36VR if you would like to stick with the same manufacturer for these components.

Both of these DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kits are designed to fit a standard 3,500 axle with idler hubs that have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.
