Frequently Asked Questions
The overrun device is the component between the coupling and the drawbar. Typical signs of wear:
- Defective shock absorber on the overrun device: The trailer sways noticeably when braking and setting off; the combination feels unstable. A leaking or oil-soaked shock absorber clearly needs replacing.
- Drawbar stiff or worn out: If it can only be pushed in with a jerk or has noticeable play up and down, the bearing sleeves or drawbar are worn. Replacement: Bearing sleeves and drawbars.
- Torn bellows: Water and dirt penetrate through the tear — and this is precisely what subsequently ruins the bushings and drawbar. A torn bellows is a minor issue, but the resulting damage can be costly. Therefore, check the following during your annual inspection: bellows.
- Handbrake lever: If it is too easy to pull, no longer holds, or the spring has lost its tension, the trailer will no longer be reliably secured when stationary. Replacement: handbrake lever.
Rule out the simple causes first: before replacing the entire overrun braking system, check the brake cables, linkage and adjustment. Weak braking performance is far more often caused by stiff cables than by the overrun braking system itself.
Repair or replace completely? Replacing individual parts is worthwhile as long as the drawbar itself is in good condition. If it is warped, heavily rusted or worn out, replacing the entire overrun braking system is the better option — when you add up the cost of the individual parts, the total is often in the same ballpark anyway.

Product Overview
Bellows, also known as protective boots or rubber gaiters, are vital for safeguarding overrun devices from environmental factors. These flexible sleeves serve as an effective barrier, preventing the ingress of dust, dirt, and moisture. Engineered to fit a variety of overrun device models, each accordion seal is tailored for reliable and consistent protection.
Key Features & Benefits
The primary function of a bellows is to act as a dust cover, shielding sensitive mechanical components from contaminants. The robust, flexible construction ensures resistance to wear and tear, while the accordion design allows for movement and adaptability. By using a quality protective boot or rubber gaiter, you help maintain smooth device operation and reduce the risk of costly maintenance or downtime.
Selection Guide
Choosing the right bellows or flexible sleeve depends on the specific overrun device model in use. Our range includes options for ALKO, KNOTT, PEITZ, SCHLEGL, GRÜMER, BPW, and WAP overrun devices. Ensure compatibility by matching the correct dust cover or accordion seal to your system. If unsure, consult your device documentation or reach out for expert assistance.
Applications
Bellows and their synonyms—protective boots, rubber gaiters, dust covers, and flexible sleeves—are used extensively in trailer and towing equipment. They are particularly crucial in protecting moving parts within overrun devices, ensuring reliable operation across various environments. Invest in quality accordion seals to enhance equipment longevity and performance.
