The E-Stopp®, winner of the 2012 NSRA new safety product of the year, is the perfect e-brake for custom vehicles. The E-Stopp is a push-button electric emergency brake that not only frees up room on the chassis and in the cab, it also doubles as an anti-theft device when the button is hidden. It works with any kind of brake system that can accept an e-brake cable and can mount anywhere on the chassis that you have room.
The E-Stopp brake is an effective, easy, and safe method to clean up your interior and simplify the parking brake installation on your custom hot-rod project. The system is controlled by a micro computer that regulates the amount of pull. The E-Stopp will only pull up to 600 pounds before it locks down on itself. The button has a detachable head for easy install and features both visual and audible recognition. Also included is a patented ignition safety feature that renders the brake inoperable while the ignition is on. Furthermore, E-Stopp has recently added another ground sync wire that can be hooked up to your parking symbol light on your dash board.
The E-Stopp enclosure itself is double-layer weatherproof (IP67 rated), so it can be mounted virtually anywhere in your vehicle, while the control box should be mounted in the cabin somewhere safe from the elements. The system has about 2 inches of travel but most e-brake setups only need about one. The system uses virtually no power once your vehicle is shut off so there is no need to worry about the E-Stopp draining your battery and if the battery should ever go dead, the E-Stopp will stay engaged until it receives power again.
