Marathon Brakes
When a hard-working truck needs dependable stopping power, the quality of its brake components matters. Marathon Brake Systems develops heavy-duty friction products and brake components for demanding commercial applications—from over-the-road trucks and trailers to buses, refuse vehicles, fire trucks and severe-duty equipment.
At Brookwood Truck & Trailer, we choose products that help our customers stay safe, control maintenance costs and keep their equipment moving. That is why we offer Marathon Brakes for fleets and owner-operators looking for reliable performance across a wide range of duty cycles.
Whether you need brake linings, new brake shoes, lined shoe kits or air disc brake components, our team can help identify the right Marathon product for your truck or trailer and complete the installation with care.
BUILT FOR HEAVY-DUTY STOPPING POWER
Founded in Cartersville, Georgia, in 1991, Marathon Brake Systems has built its reputation around quality friction products, responsive service and application-specific engineering. Its product range is designed to support the real-world demands of commercial vehicles, including highway, vocational, transit and severe-service operation.
Marathon’s Hi-Density friction technology uses carefully selected materials to help brake linings manage the heat created during braking. Better heat handling can support dependable stopping performance, resistance to fade and longer lining life—important advantages when uptime and cost per mile matter.
Marathon HEAVy-DUTY BRAKE PRODUCTS
Marathon offers brake solutions for a broad range of commercial vehicles and operating conditions.
Brake Linings
Marathon manufactures application-specific brake linings for general freight, vocational, transit and extreme-duty service. Available product families include HeatStar, FleetStar, First Line OE, KVT, Traction Stopper, Marathon Value and Green Leaf formulations. Selecting the right friction material for the vehicle’s axle rating and duty cycle can help deliver balanced braking performance and service life.
Brake Shoes and Lined Shoe Kits
A quality lining needs a solid foundation. Marathon offers new brake shoes manufactured to industry standards, along with lined shoes that pair Marathon friction with an OEM-quality shoe. Complete shoe kits are also available with the necessary hardware, helping simplify the brake job and support a consistent installation.
DiscStar Air Disc Brake Pads
The DiscStar family includes air disc brake pads engineered for highway, transit and severe-service applications. Options are available for trucks, trailers, motor coaches, school buses, fire apparatus, refuse vehicles and other heavy-duty equipment. Marathon designs its pad formulations for dependable stopping power, wear performance and low-noise operation in the applications they serve.
Rotors, Calipers and Chambers
Marathon’s air disc brake range extends beyond pads to include rotors, calipers and chambers. Matching compatible components helps support braking performance, extend component life and reduce avoidable maintenance. Our team can help you find the correct parts for your system and service requirements.

The Right Brake Parts for the Way You Work
The best brake product is not simply the most expensive option—it is the one matched to the vehicle, load, route and stopping frequency. A highway tractor has different braking demands than a refuse truck, school bus or heavy hauler. Choosing the correct friction formulation and compatible components can improve performance while helping you get better value from every brake service.
At Brookwood Truck & Trailer, we take the time to understand how your equipment works. Our team can inspect your brake system, explain your options and recommend Marathon brake parts suited to your application. We can then install and service those components so you can return to the road with confidence.
