Throttle & Accelerator Cables and Heavy-Duty Throttle Pedals
A throttle cable also called an accelerator cable connects the throttle pedal or hand lever to the engine, controlling engine speed. TGA Cables manufactures custom and replacement throttle and accelerator cables, plus heavy-duty throttle pedals, for medium and heavy-duty trucks, construction and farm equipment, buses and industrial machinery built to your exact length and fittings and supplied Australia-wide.

Heavy-Duty Throttle Pedal
Our heavy-duty foot throttle pedal (165-574-001 / -002) is built for medium and heavy-duty trucks, construction and farm equipment and buses, and operates one pull-only accelerator cable. A torsion spring returns the pedal to idle, and a plastic boot keeps out contamination. Idle position and throttle travel are adjustable; the lower assembly drops through a floor cut-out and rotates 360° and down 30° from horizontal to optimise cable routing. The ribbed pedal surface reduces foot slippage, and corrosion-resistant die-cast components, plated-steel hardware and plastic bushings give long, trouble-free service.

A foot-operated accelerator pedal for trucks, construction and farm equipment and buses. Ours (165-574-001/-002) drops through a floor cut-out, has adjustable idle and travel, a torsion-spring idle return, a ribbed anti-slip surface and corrosion-resistant construction, and operates one pull-only accelerator cable.
The -001 is foot-throttle only (one pull-only accelerator cable); the -002 adds a bracket so it can also run a manual remote hand throttle (see Unidrum).
