A breakaway cable is attached to the handbrake and to the towing device, which brakes the trailer in the event of disconnection while the trailer is in motion. They come in a variety of sizes from 620 mm to 3 500 mm.

The overrun lever is part of the overrun brake and is used to transmit the braking force. They come in different sizes.
