When working in the field, transporting with a trailer, or maneuvering machinery on the farm, it's crucial that others see you in time. A reliable taillight – whether it's LED, brake light, or combination light – provides a clear signal to the surroundings and reduces the risk of incidents. At Sagroparts, we have selected sturdy, effective taillights that operate in the most demanding agricultural environments.
Why are taillights important on agricultural machinery?
The taillight is one of the most basic – yet often overlooked – safety features on a tractor or trailer. A functioning brake light or indicator not only makes you more visible; it also shows what you intend to do. With the right rear lighting you get:
- Clear signal: Taillights, brake lights, and indicators that show when you are stopping, turning, or reversing – even in poor visibility.
- Increased visibility: Make machinery and trailers visible in fields, on roads, and on the farm yard – day and night.
- Safer work environment: Reduce the risk of accidents where multiple machines or people are moving simultaneously.
We have taillights for tractors, machinery, and trailers
Whether you're looking for a classic taillight for a trailer, an LED taillight for a tractor, or an extra brake light for an implement, we have a carefully chosen range for your needs. Our taillights are:
- Energy-efficient LED lamps – bright light with low energy consumption and long lifespan.
- Combination lights – with taillight, brake light, and indicator in a single unit.
- Approved for road traffic – meet inspection and safe driving requirements.
- Built for agriculture – withstand shocks, dirt, moisture, and temperature changes.
How to choose the right taillight
Before ordering, consider the following:
- Function: Do you need just a taillight – or also brake lights, indicators, and license plate lighting?
- Mounting: Should the lamp be mounted on a tractor, trailer, or implement? Check the fitting and placement.
- Voltage: Choose the right voltage – 12 V or 24 V, depending on the vehicle.
- Troubleshooting: Does the lamp flicker or the brake light stay on constantly? It may indicate a fault, poor grounding, or lack of brake fluid.
What do the regulations say?
According to Swedish law, vehicles driven in traffic must be equipped with approved taillights, brake lights, and indicators. Trailers often require two separate taillights, and the lamps must work before inspection. Broken or incorrectly mounted lamps can result in an annotation – or, in the worst case, fines and a driving ban.
- Taillights: Must emit red light and be visible from at least 300 meters in the dark.
- Brake lights: Should flash or shine brighter during braking – and light up immediately.
- Trailer: Must have functioning taillights and brake lights controlled from the towing vehicle.
Frequently asked questions about taillights and brake lights
- Why does the lamp flicker? It usually depends on poor connection or poor contact – especially common in moisture and dirt.
- What do I do if the brake light stays on constantly? Check the switch by the pedal and ensure that the brake fluid is at the correct level.
- Which brake fluid should I use? It depends on the machine model – see the manual or contact us for advice.
Tips for installation and maintenance
To ensure that your lamps last long, it is important that they are installed correctly – and maintained regularly. Here are a few tips:
- Use the right bracket: A stable mounting reduces vibrations and extends the lamp's lifespan.
- Sealing and wiring: Use waterproof connections and protect cables from wear.
- Clean the lamps regularly: Dust, dirt, and snow can significantly impair light intensity.
- Check functionality often: Especially before inspection or when working in the dark near others.
