I wondered how those work all the time too. You very rarely find them here in Europe, I only once have seen some advertising for them from a Dutch company. I am not even sure if they were not street legal here or just not common. About every trailer over 750 kg here has surge brakes (mostly mechanical, some larger ones hydraulic). Or depending on size you will find air brakes.

Hi Andrew, I have an answer to your question of right and left reverse thread pitches. With us in France on old trailers the left and right threads were reversed because when driving the wheels do not turn in the same direction, so the nuts were self-tightening with movement on the road, so there was no risk of losing a wheel.Nathanaël from France, yours...
