FAQs
What trailer models is this kit compatible with?
This kit is designed for Indespension Plant Trailers fitted with the Indespension V674 Braked Trailer Coupling, suitable for 200kg, 2300kg, 2600kg, and 2700kg models with a standard 50mm tow ball coupling.
What parts are included in the kit?
The kit includes a coupling damper, rubber bellows, and a high-visibility yellow secondary coupling cable.
What is the length of the coupling damper?
The damper has a total length of 410mm and a body length of 250mm.
What are the dimensions of the rubber bellows?
The bellows have an approximate natural length of 150mm and a hole diameter of 60mm.
Is this kit suitable for trailers with a towing ring coupling?
No, this kit is specifically for trailers with a standard 50mm tow ball coupling and will not fit trailers with towing ring or NATO ring couplings.
How long is the secondary coupling cable?
The secondary coupling cable is 1 meter long and features a thicker 3mm cable for extra strength.
Do I need special tools to install this kit?
While specific tool requirements can vary, installation generally involves standard mechanical tools. If you are unsure, professional installation is recommended.
Can I use this kit on a trailer that isn't an Indespension model?
This kit is specifically manufactured for Indespension trailers with the V674 coupling. Using it on other brands or models is not recommended and may compromise safety and performance.
Troubleshooting
Trailer brakes are not engaging properly after installation.
Double-check that the new coupling damper has been installed correctly and that the brake rod is properly aligned. Ensure all connections are secure. If issues persist, consult the trailer manufacturer or a professional mechanic.
Coupling damper feels stiff or is difficult to move.
Verify that the damper is the correct part for your trailer model and that it has been installed without any binding. Ensure the protective bellows are not obstructing the damper's movement.
Secondary coupling cable is too short or too long.
Confirm that you have the correct kit for your trailer model. While this kit has a standard 1m length, ensure it is routed correctly to allow full articulation of the trailer without becoming taut.
Rubber bellows do not fit securely.
Ensure the bellows are the correct size for your coupling and that the mounting points on the coupling and trailer chassis are clean and free from debris. The bellows should fit snugly over the designated areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Before purchasing, meticulously compare the dimensions and specifications of the parts in this kit (damper length, bellows hole size, cable length) with your trailer's existing components. Ensure your trailer is fitted with the Indespension V674 Braked Trailer Coupling and uses a standard 50mm tow ball. This kit is not compatible with towing ring or NATO ring couplings.
Installation: Installation typically involves disassembling the old coupling parts. The damper will need to be replaced, and the bellows fitted to protect the coupling mechanism. The secondary coupling cable should be attached securely to the designated point on the trailer chassis. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic or individual with appropriate mechanical skills and tools.
Care: After installation, regularly inspect the coupling assembly for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure the bellows remain intact and are not torn or perished. Periodically check the secure attachment of the secondary coupling cable. Clean the coupling mechanism as needed, avoiding abrasive materials that could damage the components.
