Published: 01/10/2025

Building quality trailers across New Zealand requires reliable partners and proven solutions. Today, we're proud to introduce HydroBrake - our comprehensive hydraulic braking range designed specifically for Kiwi trailer manufacturers and engineers who demand reliability, efficiency, and quality.

A Complete System, Simplified

HydroBrake isn't just another parts range - it's a complete hydraulic braking ecosystem. We've brought together everything you need under one trusted brand, making it easier than ever to source, specify, and install hydraulic brake systems.

What's Included in the HydroBrake Range

Core Components:

• Hydraulic couplings for reliable connections
• Comprehensive brake-away systems for safety compliance
• High-quality hydraulic hoses and cables
• Premium brake controllers for precise operation
• Hydraulic actuators engineered for durability

Premium Brake Hardware:

• Calipers featuring durable stainless steel components for longevity
• Hubsets equipped with premium Japanese NSK bearings
• Available in both stainless steel and cast iron configurations

Built for New Zealand Conditions

We understand the unique demands of the New Zealand market. That's why HydroBrake components are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing systems. Whether you're building new trailers or upgrading existing designs, our components retrofit easily without requiring design changes to your proven configurations.

Capacity Options to Match Your Needs

HydroBrake is available in two primary configurations:

• 2500kg hydraulic surge brake systems - ideal for medium-duty applications
• 3500kg electric-over-hydraulic options - perfect for trailer boats and heavy-duty requirements

Beyond Components: Complete Solutions

While quality components are essential, we know that efficiency in your production process is equally important. That's why we've developed services that go beyond just supplying parts.

Ready-to-Go Axle Service

Here's where HydroBrake really delivers value for trailer manufacturers. We'll pre-fit our braked and unbraked hubsets directly to your axles, delivering them ready for installation. This service saves valuable production time and eliminates the complexity of in-house assembly.

Our typical axle turnaround time is just two weeks from order to delivery, helping you maintain efficient production schedules and meet customer deadlines.

Bundled Ordering for Convenience

To further streamline your procurement process, we can bundle HydroBrake components with other essential trailer parts including:

• Wheels and rims
• Jockey wheels
• Lighting systems
• Other trailer essentials

This bundled approach simplifies ordering, reduces freight costs, and ensures all your components arrive together and ready for assembly.

Quality You Can Trust

Every HydroBrake component is selected for durability and performance. Our calipers feature stainless steel components that resist corrosion in New Zealand's diverse climate conditions. All hubsets come standard with Japanese NSK bearings, recognized globally for their precision and longevity.

Compatibility and Integration

One of the key advantages of HydroBrake is its compatibility with existing systems. Our components are designed to be interchangeable with other brands, which means you can upgrade your hydraulic brake specifications without overhauling your entire trailer design process.

This compatibility extends to retrofit applications as well. If you're working with customers who want to upgrade existing trailers, HydroBrake components can often be integrated without major modifications.
