Take Control of your trailer brakes with Cargo’s Electrastar® trailer brake controllers.
Don’t be worried about stopping your trailer. Let a Cargo trailer brake controller and communicator give you more stopping power.
- Patented system “senses” the amount of braking effort required and provides for a smooth, safe stop
- Communicator plugs into tow vehicle’s cigarette lighter, and normally needs no special wiring to control trailer mounted actuator
- Vastly superior to surge brakes… eliminates feel of being pushed by trailer and problems with backing a trailer uphill
- Ideal for rental fleets or shared trailers… need to change tow vehicles? Just move the communicator
- Improves braking on trailers hauling RV/campers, horses, cars, construction and farm equipment, and many other loads
- Meets all DOT regulations and complies with CFR-393 federal braking requirements… surge brakes are illegal in many states
