Dexter Axle K23-180-00 Left-Hand Electric Trailer Brake Assembly, 7,000 lb, 12 x 2 Inch, CSA

The Dexter Axle K23-180-00 is a left-hand (LH) electric trailer brake assembly rated for 7,000 lb axle capacity, built with a 12 x 2 inch brake size and CSA certification. It is designed as a direct fit replacement brake assembly for trailer axles using this brake size and weight rating, delivering the stopping power needed for towing at capacity while integrating with standard electric brake controller systems.

This assembly does not include a parking brake mechanism -- it is the standard electric-only configuration. Dexter Axle also offers the equivalent right-hand (RH) version as a separate part number, K23-181-00, so trailer owners replacing brakes on both sides of an axle should order the correct side-specific part for each wheel end.

Constructed for durability under repeated towing and braking cycles, this brake assembly is intended for trailer applications requiring a 7,000 lb rated, 12 x 2 inch electric drum brake on the left-hand side.
