Description

Overview

The brake shoe hardware kit BPW New Gen suits BPW drum-braked trailer axles. It replaces key springs, pins and retainers that keep each brake shoe stable under load. As a result, you can restore even brake response after a lining or shoe change during service.

Features

This kit focuses on brake shoe retention, so workshop staff can complete relines with confidence.

• Matched springs, pins and retainers for BPW New Generation drum brake shoe layouts
• Hardware combination that helps shoes return cleanly and reduces drag after brake release
• Durable components suited to heavy trailer axle brake temperatures and road conditions
• Convenient kit format that supports fast, consistent workshop brake overhauls

It also lets technicians replace small wear items in one operation instead of chasing individual pieces.

Specifications and Materials

This kit matches BPW New Generation drum brake shoe hardware used across many heavy trailer axles. Part number: FB3336. Contents generally include return springs, hold-down pins and retainers sized for the specified shoe and drum combination. For BPW brake design and maintenance information, refer to the manufacturer’s drum brake technical guide

Compatibility and Fitment

This brake shoe hardware kit BPW New Gen suits BPW New Generation drum-braked trailer axles that use the matching shoe profile and cam hardware. Before installation, confirm brake drum size, shoe width and cam style against your existing components. For example, check that the old springs match the hook and hole positions on the new hardware before you fully assemble the wheel-end. If you feel unsure, contact ICS Trailers with your axle tag details so the team can confirm suitability for your particular BPW axle.

Compliance and Safety

Correct brake shoe hardware matters for heavy-vehicle safety because weak or damaged springs can let linings drag or sit unevenly. Before fitting this kit, clean the spider and backing plate, then inspect the cam, rollers and anchor pins for wear. Also support the trailer safely, follow BPW service instructions and lock out air supplies while you work on foundation brakes.

Trailer Applications

Workshops use the brake shoe hardware kit BPW New Gen on heavy trailers and semi-trailers running BPW New Generation drum axles across many freight applications. The kit suits scheduled brake relines and corrective repairs after uneven wear or previous hardware issues. It can also help fleets standardise one common kit for compatible BPW brake setups and reduce downtime during service windows.

Cross-reference and Suitability

Current manufacturer catalogues available to us do not publish specific cross-reference part numbers for this brake shoe hardware kit. Instead, match by axle label, brake size and shoe style, then confirm with ICS Trailers before you order. This approach helps you avoid near-miss hardware that could change shoe geometry or reduce brake performance.
