Dragging or uneven brakes can make towing tough. These etrailer electric trailer brakes automatically adjust, keeping the shoes perfectly aligned with the drum so braking power stays consistent. The self-adjusting design means no more crawling underneath to tweak the star gear—just smooth, predictable stops on every trip. Each kit includes left-hand and right-hand brake assemblies for one 12,000-lb axle.
When you’re pulling serious weight, friction material quality matters. These 12-1/4" x 5" assemblies use automotive-grade pads that are fully bonded—not riveted—for more contact area and better torque. The bonded pads keep things quiet and eliminate rivet scraping as the material wears down. Tapered edges reduce stutter and help prevent lockup, giving you confident control under load.
Heavy trailers kick up plenty of debris and moisture, but these brakes are built to handle it. Each assembly has rust-resistant, e-coated backing plates and full dust shields that protect the internal components from dirt and grime. That means fewer issues with corrosion and smoother operation season after season.
Whether you’re replacing worn brakes or upgrading your setup, this kit is designed to fit most standard hub-and-drum assemblies from etrailer, Dexter, and Lippert (LCI). The 7-bolt mounting flange pattern matches common 12K axles rated for 12,000 lbs and wheels sized 15" or larger. You’ll need mounting hardware part # BRKH122510 sold separately to finish the install.
These assemblies aren’t just built strong—they’re certified for safety and performance by QAI, CSA, and SAE-N standards. Each set has been tested under real-world braking conditions so you can tow knowing your equipment meets rigorous quality benchmarks.
