Automotive cable and wiring for trucks at Truckstop Group
Wiring faults in commercial vehicles often start small — a corroded terminal, a chafed cable, a connector left unprotected during a repair — and develop into intermittent faults that take longer to diagnose than the original repair would have taken. Using correct-specification cable and properly rated connectors from the outset prevents this. Our automotive wiring range covers both the Durite commercial vehicle accessories range and Truckstop-manufactured harnesses for specific chassis applications.
Durite trailer cable is stocked in 7-core thin-wall PVC (5 x 1.5mm² and 2 x 4mm², 30m) and 8-core thin-wall PVC (7 x 1.00mm² and 1 x 2.00mm², 10m) for trailer electrical connections. Flat twin-core PVC auto cable (2 x 4.5mm², 30m) covers general wiring runs. Terminal extraction tool sets from Durite and POWERHAND test lead kits support wiring repair and diagnostics work.
Truckstop-manufactured harnesses cover specific applications: DAF side repeater wiring harness, DAF LF gearbox wiring harness, TS-20008 wiring harness for additional rear lamps on MAN and a tail lift Anderson-to-Anderson lead in 35mm cable. These are built to match the original connector specifications for their respective chassis. For any custom harness requirement not listed, call our team.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between 7-core and 8-core trailer cable?
7-core trailer cable covers the standard ISO 1185 trailer lighting circuit: indicators, brake lights, tail lights, reverse light, fog light, permanent supply and earth. 8-core adds an additional conductor, often used for auxiliary functions such as ABS or lift axle circuits on more complex trailer configurations.
Do Truckstop wiring harnesses use original connector specifications?
Yes. Truckstop-manufactured harnesses for DAF and MAN applications are built to match the original connector specifications for the chassis, allowing direct replacement without modification.
What cable rating do I need for a tail lift installation?
Tail lift circuits draw significant current and require heavy-gauge cable. Our tail lift Anderson-to-Anderson lead uses 35mm cable, which is appropriate for most tail lift power supply runs. For bespoke tail lift wiring requirements, call us to discuss the current draw and cable run length.
