Dexter Axle K23-112-00 Left-Hand 12 x 2 Electric Brake Assembly with Park Brake, 6,000 lb CSA

The Dexter Axle K23-112-00 is a complete left-hand electric trailer brake assembly built for 6,000 lb CSA-rated axles, with an integrated park brake feature for trailers that require parking or emergency brake capability on the towed unit. This is a full brake assembly, not just a shoe kit, so it installs directly onto the left-hand (driver's side) hub in place of a worn or damaged unit. The assembly uses a 12 inch x 2 inch drum brake configuration with a 5-bolt backing plate, matching the common Dexter 5,200 lb and 6,000 lb electric brake axle platform.

Because electric trailer brakes rely on a magnet-actuated system rather than hydraulic pressure, this assembly is wired for a standard electric brake controller setup and is designed as a direct fit replacement on compatible Dexter axles, restoring full braking and parking function without needing to fabricate or modify mounting hardware. The park brake mechanism is built into this LH assembly, so no separate park brake kit is needed on this side.

This is the left-hand (LH) unit only. The corresponding right-hand assembly for the opposite side of the trailer is Dexter part number K23-113-00, a separate SKU with its own part number -- order the correct side for each hub position.
