• Can I use the Curt Echo Brake Controller as an Emergency Brake
  Since a brake controller reacts to either the brake pedal of the tow vehicle being depressed or the internal mechanisms within the controller reacting to a change in inertia while traveling, they cannot truly be used as a parking brake. Additionally, not all trailer brakes have an emergency brake system on them, and those that do usually require a small modification. Brakes like the # K23-086-00 and # K23-087-00 both have manual parking brakes. These brakes utilize the 12V power from your...

  The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Wide Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS02 will work well with hubs # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K.

• Can Parking Brake Be Added To Electric Trailer Brakes Not Equipped With Parking Brake Feature
  We do have electric brakes that come with the parking brake. I recommend part # K23-086-00 for the left hand(driver side). For the passenger side you can use part # K23-087-00. A parking brake cannot be added to the # 23-468-469 brake assembly you asked about.

• Is There a Parking Brake Option While Trailer is Not Connected to Tow Vehicle
  I do not recommend using a parking brake of any type while the trailer is not in operation. The reason I don't is because locking the brakes up for extended periods of time can actually cause damage to the assemblies and will certainly drain the batteries. I would recommend something like the Buyers Products 10" Wheel Chock w/ 3-1/2" Handle - Heavy Duty Rubber - Qty 1 # 337WC1086UWH. Wheel Chocks will prevent your trailer from moving and these particular chocks have a nice handle.

• How Far Does the Dexter Hub # 84556UC3 Center Bore Extend From the Mounting Face of Hub?
  I went out to the warehouse to measure the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 5 # 84556UC3 and the center bore will stick out 1-3/4 inches from the hub face and the dust cap will add 7/8 inch. These hubs will work well on the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # T3584F-EZ-8974. For your brake assemblies, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA if...

• Recommended Spindles and Electric Brake Assemblies with Parking Brake for Trailer Build
  For that axle dimension, you would need to use the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System. This will allow you to determine the distance of your hub faces and simply cut a 2 inch square bar to length to use in the integrated holes. I recommend you use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Straight Spindle Only - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S05. With these spindles, you can then use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84546UC3-EZ....

• How to Install Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly on Trailer Without Brake Mounting Flange
  In order to install the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly part # K23-086-00 on your trailer you will need to install a brake mounting flange as well. Based on the photo you submitted, there isn't room to install a brake mounting flange on the axle but you should be able to install it on the stud just before where the grease seal seats. If the diameter of the stub you have is 1-3/4" then you can use the Brake Mounting Flange part # 4-34 otherwise you would need to fabricate something...

  Yes, I can help you with the install of the Dexter Breakaway and Parking Kit for Drum Brakes # T2385200 (Replaced the Titan 2385200) on your Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # K23-086-00.

• Which Axle of Tandem Axle Trailer Normally has Brake Axle
  It's not uncommon for a tandem axle trailer to have brakes on only one axle. Typically for utility trailers which have more weight towards the front the front axle is the one that will have the brakes and trailers like boat trailers which carry more weight towards the rear of them will have the brake axle as the rear one. The same concept would be applied for parking brakes as well. If your trailer has an electric dump that would put more weight at the rear of it than usual with the hydraulics...
