AL-KO Looped Breakaway Cable – Essential Safety for Towed Vehicles

Stay safe and compliant with the AL-KO Looped Breakaway Cable, designed for secure looped attachment to ensure your trailer, caravan, or horsebox brakes engage automatically in the rare event of detachment from the towing vehicle. This 1-metre cable, featuring a 3mm galvanised steel core with a high-visibility red plastic casing, is engineered for looping around the towball, with a clip that fastens back onto the cable and a hook for secure connection to the trailer’s handbrake. Meeting UK and EU legal requirements for braked trailers, this cable offers reliable performance and durability, making it an indispensable safety accessory for worry-free towing.

Specifications:

  • Material: Galvanised steel with red PVC coating

  • Diameter: 3mm

  • Length: 1 metre

  • Fittings: Push-down metal clip (for looping) and heavy-duty hook (trailer side)

  • Casing: Red plastic for high visibility

  • Compatibility: Suitable for all braked trailers, caravans, and horseboxes

  • Attachment: Designed for looped attachment around towball (not for direct towbar connection)

Features:

  • Legal Compliance: Fulfils UK and EU safety regulations for braked trailers, caravans, and horseboxes.

  • Automatic Brake Engagement: Activates brakes instantly if the trailer detaches, enhancing road safety.

  • Loop Attachment Design: Clips back onto itself after looping around the towball for secure, reliable operation.

Please note we do not stock all sizes of all items. Items such as full awnings often come direct from the manufacturer to save time.

If there is a significant delay we will also let you know once we have placed the order with the manufacturer and they confirm delivery. In extremely busy periods the manufacturers can take a few extra days to deliver.

Returns 

We are confident that you will enjoy your purchase, however, in the unlikely event that you have a concern on receiving your item(s), please get in touch with us first. In some cases we can resolve a problem without the goods needing to be returned, at other times we may need to refer to the manufacturer for the best course of action.

KEEP THE BOX – if you unfortunately have to return your item, it will need to be shipped back to us. We strongly advise that you keep the original packaging (particularly for awnings and larger items) flat-packed for a reasonable length of time.

Returns are accepted provided that the items are unused, in a resaleable condition, with relevant labels attached. Whilst we accept that you may have inspected your purchase to ensure it meets your requirements, where it is evident that more handling (or use) has occurred than we would expect for the purposes of ascertaining suitability, characteristics and function, a proportionate deduction for the diminishment of value will be made.

To return an item please do so via a Post Office or other carrier, or direct to our store at Newcastle. Please note that goods are returned at your own expense and the goods are your responsibility until they reach us. We highly recommend that you keep a copy of any shipping receipt.

In the interests of quality control, all returned goods will be inspected by us or the manufacturer prior to any refund or repair being made.
