AL-KO 2T Mechanical Forward Pull Caliper

This premium **galvanised forward-pull mechanical caliper** is engineered for high-performance braking setups across heavy-duty Australian box trailers, boat trailers, and caravans.

Key Advantages

✔ High Corrosion Resistance: Hot-dip galvanised frame body coupled with premium stainless steel sliding bushes and adjusting bolts withstands harsh saltwater exposure seamlessly.
✔ Rapid Heat Dissipation: The ventilated, open-air mechanical configuration cools rapidly under stress, mitigating high-temperature brake fade.
✔ Cost-Effective Simplicity: Simple mechanical cable overrides skip the need for expensive hydraulic fluid plumbing, making installations clean and highly affordable.
✔ Straightforward Servicing: Features an optimised, easy-access layout that lets DIY mechanics swap out standard 341103 brake pads quickly.

Product Disadvantages

✘ Manual Cable Adjustments Required: Overrides rely purely on hand-tensioned cable lines, meaning frequent physical updates are essential to compensate for routine brake pad wear.
✘ Limited Stopping Force: Provides lower direct kinetic bite force per millimetre compared to high-pressure multi-piston hydraulic setups.
✘ Axle Capacity Constraints: Maximum load capabilities are restricted to 1300kg paired loads on 13″/14″ wheel rims, dropping to 1000kg loads on larger 15″/16″ configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

💬 What is the maximum load rating for these calipers?
They support up to 1350 kg per axle setup with smaller 13 to 14-inch rims, or 1000 kg when paired with 15 to 16-inch sizes.
💬 When should I choose a Forward Pull over a Centre Pull style?
Forward pull designs are meant for traditional straight beam axles, while centre pull units cater strictly to space-confined Independent Rubber Suspension systems.
💬 Which exact replacement brake pad model fits this system?
It natively accepts standard non-asbestos heavy-duty AL-KO 341103 replacement brake pads, as shown on the product label.
