    Abstract: An emergency braking apparatus for use with vehicles or trailers having dual coaxial wheels on either side thereof. The brake comprises a belt, one end of which is attached to the chassis at a suitable location so that the other, free, end when released, is run over by the inner of the dual wheels.
