12-inch Electric Backing Plate – Includes Park Lever

12-inch electric drum brakes, like those employed in the automotive sector, are reliable and effective. 12″ Electric Backing Plates are built to handle wet and dry highway conditions, suitable for caravans and trailers alike. Equipped with a specially crafted single-slit magnet, these brakes are designed to withstand rugged, uneven terrain.

The 12-inch Electric Backing Plate arrives fully equipped, streamlining mounting to the bracket and offering convenience over replacing individual parts. Opting for high-quality brake parts is crucial for safety, as inferior backing plates can generate excessive heat, leading to overheated bearings and grease issues. Couplemate™ has used these reliable backing plates for years, making them a safe choice for your trailer.

Frequently Asked Questions: 12-Inch Premium Electric Backing Plate (12V)

Core Specifications

Size: 12-Inch Premium
Power: 12V DC system
Park Brake: Integrated mechanism
Design: Fully adjustable shoe setup

The Do’s

Do verify the 12V power supply:
Ensure your brake controller and vehicle wiring consistently deliver the correct voltage to optimise braking force.
Do adjust the shoes periodically:
Utilise the built-in adjustable mechanism to maintain precise clearances as the brake linings wear down.
Do test the integrated park brake:
Always confirm the park brake cable engagement operates smoothly and holds securely before unhitching.

The Don’ts

Don’t swap left and right sides:
Never cross-install backing plates; the integrated park brake and self-activating shoes are strictly side-specific.
Don’t allow grease on linings:
Keep the drum magnets and friction materials free from bearing grease during assembly to prevent total brake failure.
