Key Features:
- Stabilus Engineering: Twin-tube/monotube hybrid configuration engineered for consistent damping force under extreme weight loads.
- High-Pressure Nitrogen: Prevents cavitation and oil aeration for stable, fade-free deceleration.
- Maintenance-Free: Factory-sealed unit requires no ongoing fluid servicing.
- Tuned Specifically for Heavy Commercial Towing: Optimized for trailers rated from 2600kg up to 3500kg gross vehicle weight (GVW).
- Complete Kit Integration: Designed to work perfectly alongside standard replacement bolts, nyloc nuts, and zip-ties.
When to Replace:
- If the damper is leaking hydraulic oil or has lost its gas charge.
- If the trailer drawbar can be easily compressed or pushed in by hand with little to no resistance.
- If braking action is harsh, jerky, or results in a violent "bang/slam" sound when you slow down the tow vehicle.
- During major coupling head overhauls or every 3–5 years as preventive maintenance.
Installation Note: Professional installation recommended. Ensure the trailer is safely chocked before unbolting the hitch assembly. Verify eyelet dimensions and body clearance inside the drawbar tube before final torqueing. Test brake operation and auto-reverse function in a controlled area before road use.
