Electric trailer brakes are the most widely used system for carriers and closed trailers. They work through an electrical connection between the trailer and the tow vehicle, controlled by a brake driver mounted on the trailer vehicle cabin. The controller allows a real time adjustment of the braking power based on the weight of the trailer, the conditions of the road and the entrance of the driver.
Electric brakes are ideal for large car trailers, especially those used in engines or commercial transport. They offer higher modulation, better performance in steep notes and a reduced wear and tear on trailer vehicles.
The disadvantage? They require a source of power and proper wiring, which adds complexity to the configuration. But for those who tow frequently, the benefits far exceed the disadvantages.
