Brake shoes 250x40 Knott complete kit 2 wheels with lifetime warranty for trailer

Brake shoes 250x40 for brake systems from Knott on braked trailers. The complete kit contains brake shoes, adjusters, expanders and mounting components for two wheels and is used during service or replacement of worn brake components in drum brakes. The kit fits Knott and is also compatible with several trailer brands such as Avonride, Bradley, Ifor Williams, Nieper and Schlegl. Always check brake type and dimension to ensure correct fit.

VALERYD X-Tech brake shoes are developed using a unique technology where the friction lining is pressed into the brake shoe under very high pressure and temperature. The lining penetrates X-shaped grooves in the steel, creating a very strong mechanical bond between the friction lining and the brake shoe. This construction provides high wear resistance, stable braking performance and long service life and function even under heavy load.

Thanks to the X-Tech technology, VALERYD offers a lifetime warranty against the brake lining separating from the brake shoe. The warranty does not cover normal wear of the friction lining.

Brake shoes in drum brake on trailer

In the trailer drum brake, the brake shoes are pressed against the inside of the brake drum when the brake system is activated. The friction between the brake lining and the brake drum creates braking force which reduces the wheel's rotation. During service, brake shoes and springs should be inspected regularly and worn components replaced to ensure the brake system functions correctly.
