V-Shaped Inertia Overrun Brakes for Trailers — Selection by Weight & Drawbar Type
V-shaped overrun braking systems are installed on trailers with matching V-drawbars and are responsible for automatic braking whenever the towing vehicle decelerates. The mechanism operates via inertia: as the trailer pushes forward against the decelerating vehicle, the overrun device compresses and activates the trailer's wheel brakes. The pricepy.com.ua catalog features premium V-shaped overrun coupling systems from leading manufacturers AL-KO, KNOTT, and Winterhoff for trailers across various weight ratings.
Key Features of V-Shaped Overrun Couplings
- Designed for V-Drawbars. The mounting housing is specifically shaped to fit trailers built with two convergent frame beams forming a V-configuration.
- Wide Weight Capacity Range. Available in ratings for lightweight braked trailers from 750–1000 kg up to heavy-duty commercial platforms, car haulers, and machinery trailers rated up to 3000–3500 kg.
- Complete Assembly with Ball Coupler. Most units come pre-assembled with a heavy-duty ball hitch coupling, allowing for complete assembly replacement without searching for individual compatible parts.
- Replaceable Spare Parts. Full maintenance support with readily available replacement dampers, bushings, breakaway cables, levers, and brake cables.
How to Choose the Right V-Shaped Overrun Brake
When selecting an overrun device, consider the following technical specifications:
- Gross Vehicle Weight (GVWR). The primary selection parameter. The overrun brake capacity must match your trailer's total permissible weight and tongue weight rating.
- Drawbar Dimensions & Angle. Verify the convergence angle and profile dimensions of your V-drawbar to ensure hole alignment and mounting bracket compatibility.
- Coupler Head & Hitch Specs. Ensure compatibility with your vehicle's tow ball diameter (standard 50 mm) and required coupling lock mechanisms.
- Mounting Position. Depending on your chassis structure, choose between top-mount (installed above the drawbar legs) or bottom-mount configurations.
Advantages of High-Quality Overrun Braking Systems
A reliable inertia overrun brake significantly enhances road safety, shortens stopping distances, minimizes brake wear on the towing vehicle, and ensures smooth, controlled braking during emergency stops. Featuring hot-dip galvanized steel housings and precision-engineered mechanical actuators, these units deliver maximum corrosion protection and dependable service life under heavy usage.
