Smarter braking, safer roads: Tackling trailer sway and installation headaches.

In the heavy-vehicle and freight industry, safety and efficiency aren’t just priorities – they’re essential. The same should be the case when you are towing your boat or caravan. A critical area that often flies under the radar is trailer braking. Poor brake control, unpredictable trailer sway and complex installation procedures have long plagued brake controllers, putting both vehicles and drivers at risk.

Control, consistency and costly downtime

Fleet operators and truck drivers know all too well the dangers of trailer sway – particularly at high speeds, in crosswinds, or during sudden manoeuvres. Even experienced drivers can struggle to regain control without precise braking control once a trailer begins to sway. Many standard electric brake controllers offer only basic functionality, and worse, require extensive cab modifications to install.

Tow-Pro Link Electric Brake Controller

Enter the Tow-Pro Link Electric Brake Controller – a game-changing, towbar-mounted solution built for the real-world challenges of heavy towing. Developed by REDARC, the Tow-Pro Link is designed to
simplify installation while elevating driver control and trailer braking performance to a new standard.

At the heart of the Tow-Pro Link is SwayStop Plus, REDARC’s advanced trailer sway stabilisation technology. In critical moments, drivers can simply press and release the control button to engage immediate trailer braking, allowing sway to be brought under control without taking their hands off the wheel. It’s a simple but powerful tool that provides peace of mind, especially when towing over long distances or in unpredictable driving conditions.

Streamlined installation, minimal downtime

The Tow-Pro Link is built with streamlined installation in mind, offering a cab-friendly setup. The system’s USB-powered remote head and Bluetooth smartphone app enable installers to configure the unit without digging into the dash or rewiring the cab. Compared with traditional units, installation can be up to 50% faster, getting vehicles back on the road sooner.

Precision meets innovation

Beyond its smart installation and sway control, the Tow-Pro Link boasts the only six-axis sensor on the market – a major advancement that provides ultra-smooth braking in proportional and user-controlled modes.
