Hopkins Introduces New Brake Buddy® 3 Series
EMPORIA, KS – Brake Buddy® has introduced two entirely new portable auxiliary braking systems, the Classic 3™ and Select 3™ that raise the industry’s highest level of performance, safety and ease of use for consumers.
“Brake Buddy has pioneered nearly all of the major innovations since we invented the portable auxiliary category back in 1996” said Mike Williams, the company’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Our redesign strategy was guided by a focus on the key problems experienced by consumers” he added.
The new innovations, exclusively available on the Brake Buddy 3 systems include:
- The first truly universal Quick-Lock™ Clevis allowing for easy attachment to any brake pedal design. Not only will this new design work on all shapes and sizes of pedals, nothing is more secure or easier to set up.
- The 3 Series include a new TruFit™ Riser technology that quickly and easily positions the braking unit in an optimal braking position for safety, no matter the type of floor board.
- An innovative Easy-Pull™ Power Cord, with fully integrated break-away function, creates a simple, “plug and go” connection.
- Both models now come equipped with patented Auto Start feature, providing the only one touch startup in the industry.
- The integrated pivoting handle makes it easy to carry these lightweight units. This not only makes daily use a breeze, but it also makes these models easier to transfer between vehicles or when the consumer buys a new vehicle.
- Brake Buddy’s rigorous quality standards allow each and every system to come with an industry leading 5-Year Warranty and 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.
“In an ever-evolving marketplace that sees towed vehicles change each and every year, Brake Buddy continues to innovate, making the towing experience safer and easier.” explains Dan Scheller, the company’s Director of Marketing.
