    This discussion got me thinking,

    Why do caravans (often weighing less than 3 tons) need an electric brake while other 3.5T plant trailers don't have one?
    My 3.5T Brian James trailer doesn't have any electric brakes and no safety chain (I can understand this part).
    The trailer comes with 7-pin plug, a carabiner clip for the mechanical over-ride brake and that's it.

    Am I missing something here or does a 3.5T plant trailer need an electric brake too?
