Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) continues to extend it’s offerings in automotive safety with the introduction of its latest new product line: the Electric Secondary Park Brake (ESPB) for Toyota’s iconic Landcruiser 70 and 200 Series. Designed to work in harmony with the vehicle’s existing handbrake system, this advanced solution ensures enhanced parking security, particularly in steep terrain or when carrying heavy loads.

Upgrade for Extra Security and Convenience

The ESPB offers a user-friendly, bolt-on upgrade that features a simple plug-and-play installation. This ensures minimal changes to the vehicle’s structure, making it an ideal choice for those who want a fast and effective enhancement. The ESPB strengthens the vehicle’s handbrake function by providing superior holding force, especially useful when parking on inclines or towing heavy equipment. It’s important to note that this system acts as a backup rather than a replacement, designed to complement the factory handbrake and boost overall safety.

Addressing Handbrake Wear in Older Models

Over time, aging vehicles like the Landcruiser 70 Series can experience handbrake cable wear, particularly when subject to heavy loads or parked on slopes. DBA’s ESPB steps in to fill the gap, ensuring consistent and reliable performance by introducing an electric caliper system, similar to those found as standard in modern vehicles, that guarantees firm vehicle stability. It’s an upgrade that offers peace of mind, knowing that even as manual components wear, your vehicle will stay securely parked.

Effortless Integration with OEM Components

DBA’s ESPB integrates smoothly with the Landcruiser’s factory-installed braking systems, maintaining the vehicle’s original braking efficiency. The system fully supports existing rotors and pads, ensuring a cohesive setup. It also features an automatic engagement option, making sure that the parking brake is applied when necessary, further reducing the likelihood of accidental roll-aways. For those regularly operating in uneven or off-road environments, this feature adds an essential layer of convenience and security.

Regulatory Compliance and User-Friendly Design

While the kit itself does not require ADR certification, it fully maintains the Landcruiser’s ADR compliance by enhancing the existing ADR-approved braking system. The sleek cabin switch is designed for easy access and use, preserving both functionality and the vehicle’s interior aesthetics.
