10-inch Parallel Brake Drum for Caravans, Trailers and Campers
When you’re out in the Australian outback, the last thing anyone wants is a brake failure due to low-quality drums.
Quality brake drums are crucial for caravans, as they play a significant role in ensuring safe, efficient braking. Due to the added weight and momentum, the brakes are under considerable stress when towing a caravan. The brake drums must withstand high temperatures, extreme pressure, and constant wear and tear.
These brake drums are most commonly used for 10″ electric backing plates but also suit 10″ mechanical backing plates and 10″ hydraulic backing plates.

What makes Low-Quality Drums Dangerous?
A few years ago, Couplemate™ was concerned about the rising quality issues and complaints with imported drums. We decided to develop a better 10-inch drum brake to ensure electric brake drums were first-class and to ensure we could own a quality product.
Low-quality or worn brake drums can cause a range of problems, including:
- Reduced stopping power
- Increased stopping distances
- Excessive heat buildup
- Complete brake failure
This can be extremely dangerous, particularly when driving on steep or winding roads. This can result in costly repairs and replacements, and potential safety hazards.
What makes AL-KO 10-inch Electric Brake Drums Superior?
By investing in high-quality brake drums designed for caravans and other towing applications, you can ensure your braking system is reliable and effective.
Quality brake drums provide consistent stopping power, reduce the risk of overheating, and ultimately help keep you and your passengers safe on the road.
Our engineers discovered and discussed porosity as a significant cause of braking inefficiencies. Porosity is a series of holes in a casting that causes lower brake shoe adhesion. A porous surface will have less braking resistance than a non-porous surface.0
The best way to explain how to remove air from steel is to understand how air is expelled from concrete. Shaking or vibrating the tooling containing a drum casting effectively removes air bubbles, significantly reducing porosity..
