Hinterland Towbars & Steel Fabrication
Electric Brake Controllers in Gympie
We’re a family-owned, fully mobile service delivering professional towbar and electric brake controller installations without you leaving your driveway.
Control You Can Rely On
Safer, Smoother & More Predictable
Towing feels very different once an electric brake controller is set up properly, especially when stopping distance and load control really matter. At Hinterland Towbars & Steel Fabrication, we install electric brake controllers across Gympie for drivers who want safer, smoother and more predictable towing.
We make sure the trailer brakes work in sync with your vehicle, rather than lagging behind or grabbing suddenly. That means improved stability, reduced strain on your vehicle brakes and better control in everyday driving, on hills and in wet conditions. From caravans and boat trailers to work and trade setups, correct brake control makes a noticeable difference straight away.
Our mobile service means we install and calibrate your electric brake controller on-site, matching the setup to your vehicle, trailer and towing needs. To book electric brake controller installation in Gympie, call 0448 257 173 and get it set up properly from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an electric brake controller do?
An electric brake controller manages how braking force is applied to the trailer when the tow vehicle slows down. It ensures the trailer brakes activate smoothly and in proportion to vehicle braking, improving stability, control and stopping distances while towing.
Do I need an electric brake controller for my trailer?
If a trailer or caravan is fitted with electric brakes, an electric brake controller is required to operate them correctly. Australian towing regulations specify braking requirements based on trailer weight, and many heavier setups rely on electric braking systems.
How is an electric brake controller adjusted?
Adjustment involves calibrating the controller to suit the trailer’s weight and braking behaviour. This is usually done through testing and fine tuning, ensuring the trailer brakes respond smoothly without locking or delayed braking in different conditions.
Set Up To Perform
Better Braking For Confident Towing
Electric brake controllers give us direct control over how much braking force is applied to the trailer. When they’re installed and adjusted correctly, towing feels calmer, more balanced and far easier to manage in real driving conditions.
We take care of wiring, controller placement and fine adjustment so the braking response suits your load, not just the vehicle. This helps prevent harsh braking, delayed response and uneven stopping, while also reducing wear on brakes and tyres.
We work with trusted electric brake controller brands like REDARC, known for their reliability and smooth performance. Once everything is set up correctly, you can tow with confidence whether you’re travelling locally or heading out on longer trips.
