Electric brake
controllers
Towing a caravan, horse float or trailer over 750 kg? An electric brake controller isn't optional — and a properly fitted, calibrated one makes towing safer and smoother.
What we do
As REDARC Rednetwork members we fit the Tow-Pro range every week, along with other quality controllers — and our Rednetwork membership lets us offer an exclusive extended warranty on REDARC products we supply and fit. We mount the control knob where you can actually reach it, wire it correctly to the vehicle and trailer, and calibrate it with your trailer hitched so the brakes work with the car, not against it.

Common questions
Do I legally need an electric brake controller?
In Queensland, trailers with a GTM over 750 kg need brakes, and over 2,000 kg they must be able to operate from the driver's seat and have a breakaway system — which means an electric brake controller.
Which brake controller is best?
The REDARC Tow-Pro Elite is our go-to: it hides away, has a small dash knob and works in both proportional and user-controlled modes. The Tow-Pro Link is the other one we fit most. We'll recommend based on what you tow and what you tow it with.
How long does fitting take?
Usually a few hours, depending on the vehicle. If we're also fitting a trailer plug or Anderson plug we'll do it all in one visit.
