AL-KO IQ7 Electric Hydraulic Brake Controller

The AL-KO IQ7 is an electric hydraulic brake actuator, that enjoys the top ranking for brake controllers on boat trailers over 2t.

The maximum hydraulic pressure for the actuator is 6.9 Mpa (1000psi), and fluid displacement is 21cc. The rating of the IQ7 equates to the braking capacity of a 3t trailer.

If the trailer is heavier than 3t then use the Hydrastar 1600 PSI model.

What type of braked axles suit the IQ7?

• 50mm Square Hydraulic Disc Brake Axle

Important Notice

When removing the earlier model series 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 Sensabrake and replacing it with the IQ7 Extreme, loop or bridge pins 10 and 11.

What is the difference between the Alko Actuator and the Hydrastar actuator braking systems?

• The Hydrastar actuator offers NO internal park brake. Residual compressed air powers the actuator when no control is available.
• Hydrastar offers 1200 psi and 1600 psi models for larger boats. Al-ko offers a 1000 psi model.
• The AL-KO actuator requires no breakaway kit and no breakaway switch.
• When electrically disconnected from the tow vehicle, the compressor activates the hydraulic park brake.

Which one is better?

The best EOH trailer brake actuator for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences. If you are looking for a reliable and easy-to-use actuator with inbuilt breakaway technology and automatic park brake, then the Alko IQ7 is a good option. However, if you are looking for the most responsive braking performance, then the Hydrastar is a better choice.

The Alko IQ7 is the latest electric marine actuator on the market; therefore, it contains all the newest technology and is the best money can buy.

For braking requirements, please refer to Vehicle Standards Bulletin VSB1.

IQ7 meets all of your legal requirements.

Importantly, fitting the AL-KO iQ7 system allows the legal use of hydraulic disc brakes for towed vehicles and trailers over 2 tonnes in Australia and 2.5 tonnes in New Zealand. As a result, it provides superior stopping performance.

Note: We deliver to Australia and New Zealand.

Finally, to complete the offer of peace of mind, AL-KO provides a market-leading 3-year warranty (When installed by an Authorised AL-KO iQ7 Installer).
