AL-KO Trailer Brakes FAQs
When should AL-KO brake shoes be replaced?
Replace brake shoes once the friction material is worn thin or if braking performance has reduced. Regular checks help identify wear before it affects safety.
Do you supply parts to suit AL-KO trailer brakes?
Yes, we stock brake shoe kits and supporting spares to suit AL-KO trailer brakes. Confirm your brake size and whether it's a standard or self-adjusting type before ordering.
What is a self-adjusting brake shoe?
A self-adjusting brake shoe automatically compensates for wear, helping maintain consistent brake clearance without manual adjustment.
What does a brake expander do?
The expander pushes the brake shoes outward against the drum when the brakes are applied. A worn or seized expander can reduce braking performance.
Can AL-KO brake parts be replaced individually?
Yes, brake shoes, adjusters, expanders and levers can typically be replaced separately depending on which component has worn.
How often should trailer brakes be checked?
Trailer brakes should be checked regularly and before towing, particularly on trailers used frequently or in demanding site conditions.
