Shop HGV Brake Systems & Friction Parts at Truckstop Group
Commercial vehicle braking systems carry a higher maintenance burden than passenger car equivalents. Greater vehicle weight, harder duty cycles and the legal requirements attached to HGV roadworthiness mean that brake components need to be sourced correctly and replaced on schedule. Cutting corners here has consequences.
Truckstop stocks brake friction parts for both disc and drum brake configurations across all major HGV manufacturers, including DAF, Volvo, Scania, Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Iveco and Renault. Brake pads from Winnard, TMD and Textar cover a wide range of caliper and brake system fitments, with many supplied with fitting kits included. Brake discs and drums are stocked for specific vehicle and trailer axle applications, with product data clearly noted for fitment guidance.
Correct specification is important. Pads must be matched to the correct caliper and disc combination. Drums must meet the dimensional tolerances set by the axle manufacturer. Using the wrong component risks uneven braking, premature wear or brake failure, none of which are acceptable on a vehicle operating commercially.
Brake pad wear indicators and fitting kits are stocked alongside friction parts, so the complete job can be sourced in one order. Slack adjusters, both manual and automatic, are also available for drum brake systems, where correct adjustment is essential to braking performance and MOT compliance.
All brake parts are available for UK nationwide delivery. For full delivery options, see our orders and delivery page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What brake pad brands does Truckstop stock?
We stock brake pads from Winnard, TMD and Textar. Winnard pads are ECE R90 approved and cover a wide range of truck, trailer and axle applications. TMD (marketed under the Don brand) supply OE-quality friction materials for commercial vehicle use.
How do I know which brake pads fit my vehicle?
Correct fitment depends on the caliper type, brake system and axle specification. Product listings include detailed fitment notes by brake system (e.g. Meritor ELSA, Knorr SB, Wabco PAN22, SAF). If you are unsure, contact our sales team with your vehicle registration or chassis details.
Do I need to replace brake pads in axle sets?
Yes. Brake pads should always be replaced as an axle set, both sides simultaneously, to maintain balanced braking. Replacing only one side risks uneven wear and pulling under braking.
Are fitting kits included with brake pads?
Many Winnard brake pads are supplied with fitting kits. Where a kit is not included, compatible fitting kits are available separately within our brake pad fitting kits collection. Check the individual product listing for details.
What is the difference between disc brakes and drum brakes on HGVs?
Disc brakes offer better heat dissipation and more consistent stopping performance, particularly on steer and drive axles. Drum brakes remain common on trailer axles and older trucks. Both require correct pad or shoe specification and regular inspection.
