If you have ever experienced a snake while towing a caravan or trailer you should see the benefit of the LEAS stabiliser.

The LEAS stabiliser works on the same principle as ESP (Electronic Stability Assistance) on a car, by applying controlled braking in critical situations. It is an electro-mechanical device, which detects the start of a snaking movement and immediately applies the brakes of the caravan or trailer.

Unlike other anti-snake devices, which work as constant friction dampers on every movement, the LEAS Stabiliser applies the caravan/trailer brakes only when lateral movement is detected. This is performed using the patented electronic movement sensor and motor assembly.

Sudden hard braking, gusting winds and sharp steering, even at slow speed can cause snaking movements, which can result in jack-knifing or rolling.

The LEAS stabiliser is very popular in Germany and comes recommended by the German consumer association "Stiftung Warentest", the German test institute "TUV-Rhineland" and the German auto club "ADAC".
