   If the vehicle is towing a trailer, it often has a separate trailer-brake system that receives compressed air from the supply system. The parking brakes use a disc or drum arrangement which is designed to be held in the 'applied' position by spring pressure. Air pressure must be produced to release these "spring brake" parking brakes.
