Description
Product Overview
Complete hydraulic trailer brake kit for 3,500 kg tandem axle trailers including axle fabrication to your specifications. Comes with stainless steel hub sets and calipers, perfect for boat trailers.
Key Features
- Rapid-response hydraulic braking: The Deutsche Alpha G1600 Hydrapro EOH Actuator delivers lightning-fast braking, reaching 1,000 PSI in just 0.184 seconds for superior control and stopping power.
- Smart & customisable trailer-mounted brake control: The Elecbrakes Controller lets you fine-tune and save braking settings based on your load and terrain. Control it effortlessly via Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, handheld remote, or mobile device.
- Fail-safe breakaway system: For added security, the breakaway kit automatically applies the brakes if the trailer detaches from the tow vehicle. The 10 Ah battery powering the breakaway system allows for longer use between charges.
- Hassle-free plug-&-play installation: The IP67-rated smart wiring loom has connectors that only attach to appropriate components to ensure correct setup every time!
- Stainless steel calipers and rotors: Durable and resistant to rust and corrosion.
- Modular system: Easily add or modify components later. The EOH actuator is compatible with most factory-fitted and third-party brake controllers, and the electric brake controller works with any towing vehicle.
- Different hose lengths available to suit your trailer build.
- Trickle-charging battery system: No need to remove and charge the batteries before use.
- Galvanised collapsible Knott sidewind jockey wheel: Hot dip galvanised in and out with nearly indestructible wheel, with 545 kg load rating.
- 12-Pin System: Powers the brake system directly and charges the battery, removing the risk of brake failure due to a flat battery.
- Custom axle fabrication for your trailer included.
- Customisable kit: Add wheels, axles, and other components to streamline your production or build.
Applications
- Suitable for both 12V and 24V vehicles.
- For use with 3,500 kg GVM tandem axle trailers, including:
- Boat trailers
- Caravans
- Utility trailers
- Horse floats
Benefits
- Enhanced safety: Exceptionally fast brake actuator response time, powered directly from the vehicle via the 12-pin system. The 10 Ah backup battery provides a longer charge to the breakaway system to ensure maximum safety during towing, especially during long trips.
- Effortless installation: The plug & play smart wiring loom eliminates guesswork, ensuring each connection is secure and foolproof, saving hours of setup time.
- Versatile control: Capable of saving braking presets for different vehicles and loads.
- Responsive, proportional braking: Experience smoother stops and better control.
- Adaptive & future-proof: The modular system allows you to add and modify components as needed. Choose from a range of preset brake hose lengths to suit your build.
- Built to last: Durable and weatherproof components ensure braking reliability throughout the seasons. Hoses instead of copper tubing eliminates risk of crimping.

FAQs
Q: Can I request for kit customisation?
A: Yes, you can reach out to Treadway for additional components like wheels, hose kits, etc. You can also ask for axle customisation to further streamline your build.
Q: What are the benefits of a 12-pin system vs 7-pin?
A: The 12-pin system carries additional power lines that can run the hydraulic actuator. This means the trailer braking system is not being powered by the battery when connected to the vehicle, removing the risk of brake failure due to a flat battery.
Q. Why does this kit have a 10ah battery?
A: A battery with a 10 Ah rating will last twice as long as a battery with a 5 Ah rating when used under similar conditions.
Q: What maintenance is required for the G1600 Alpha?
A: Routine maintenance includes checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting for leaks, and ensuring all electrical connections are secure. Using high-quality DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is recommended for optimal performance.
Q: Is the electric brake controller compatible with all towing vehicles?
A: The Elecbrake controller can be mounted on any trailer and towed by any vehicle, provided that the fully loaded weight of the trailer does not exceed the braking system’s rated capacity and the tow vehicle is equipped with a compatible 12V or 24V power supply.
Q: What happens if the Bluetooth connection drops?
A: Elecbrakes scans for a connection every 2/100ths of a second and will automatically reconnect. However, a loss of Bluetooth connectivity does not affect the trailer’s braking ability. The system will continue to operate based on the last saved settings. The only functions that would be temporarily unavailable are manual override and program changes via the remote. If the connection does drop, the driver can pull over and reconnect, but this is a rare occurrence.
Q: Can I use a handheld remote?
A: Yes, our EOH braking system can be controlled from a handheld remote, a mobile device, Android Auto or Apple Car Play.
Q: Can I use both the app and the handheld remote at the same time?
A: Elecbrakes only connects to one device at a time for safety. To use the handheld remote, the app must first be disconnected from the Elecbrakes unit.
