The Powerbrake-RT is a combined high powered handbrake and breakaway unit from Distag QCS.

Powerbrake-RT Fitted

The device, which can be fitted to almost any trailer, uses no electronics or hydraulics, ensuring that the Powerbrake-RT is a low maintenance solution. The unit is designed to deliver 3.5 times the braking power of a conventional handbrake.

In the event of a breakaway, the connection between the unit and the trailer is engineered to separate under a fixed force, thus halting the trailer and preventing serious damage and injuries. The simple bolt-on design means the Powerbrake-RT can be mounted to the trailer chassis, drawbar, or elsewhere between tractor and trailer axle.

Originally designed for OEM-fitting, the Powerbrake-RT can also be retrofitted to any braked trailer.
