  Product Description
Ensuring the safety of your caravan during towing operations is paramount, and the AL-KO Breakaway Cable stands as a vital component in achieving this. This essential safety accessory is engineered to activate the brakes of a caravan, horsebox, or trailer if it accidentally detaches from the towing vehicle. With a construction comprising a 3mm multi-strand galvanised wire encased in a high-visibility red PVC coating, this 100cm cable is not only durable but also highly visible, enhancing safety measures. The AL-KO breakaway cable is equipped with a standard push-down metal clip and a heavy-duty metal hook end connector, making it straightforward to install on AL-KO braked couplings. Its design ensures that it breaks under the necessary conditions, triggering the engagement of the handbrake on the caravan or trailer, thereby preventing potential runaway situations.

Safety in towing is further underscored by the AL-KO Caravan Breakaway Cable's specific design for emergency use. Upon activation, indicating detachment from the towing vehicle, the cable's function to engage the caravan's brakes is a testament to its critical role in towing safety. Its compatibility with all trailer and caravan braked couplings manufactured by AL-KO ensures a broad application range, making it an indispensable accessory for towing operations. The cable’s design facilitates easy attachment to the handbrake of the coupling using the provided hook, highlighting its user-friendly nature while reinforcing safety protocols.

Optimal use and installation of the AL-KO breakaway cable are crucial for ensuring towing safety. The recommended method of attachment to the towing vehicle is via an attachment point on the towbar, which offers a more secure and effective means of engagement compared to looping around the tow ball. This practice is reserved for situations where no other options are available, underscoring the importance of correct installation for operational safety. The AL-KO breakaway cable, with its specific model ALKO130, emerges as a superior choice for those seeking reliability and safety in their towing accessories, providing peace of mind during travel.

Please read the important information contained in the ‘Breakaway Cable Safety Information’ document. It is essential that a breakaway cable is in good condition and fitted at all times when towing.

It is also recommended that a spare breakaway cable is carried at all times when towing. Should the one fitted become damaged during a journey it would be dangerous and illegal to continue towing either without one fitted or if it were damaged in any way.

* UK Law requires that all trailer and caravans with brakes built on or after 1/10/82 are fitted with a safety device to provide protection in the unlikely event of the separation of the coupling while in motion.
