Remote Operated Brake Controller for Gooseneck Trailer with Electric Over Hydraulic Brakes- We do not offer a remote brake controller option that will work with the Carlisle HydraStar disc brake actuator you referenced.

This would involve some wiring, such as tapping into the brake light circuits, and running a power and ground wire to the battery. You would also ha

- Does Hydrastar HBA12 Trailer Brake Actuator Work on a 2006 Ford F-250 with Factory Brake Controller
- From what we have learned, the HBA-10 with a serial number of 313800 or higher, and the HBA16 with a serial number of 506100 or higher are the affected devices that would require the use of the Carlisle Control Adapter Module, # HBA-CAM.
However, it is still possible that the HBA12 will not be compatible with the integrated brake controller on your 2006 Ford F-250. If your HBA12 is a generation 5 with a serial number between 700100 to 705699 and it has a a bleeder fitting on top and 4 wire le

- Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator For A 20000 Lb Trailer With Disc Brakes
- You mentioned a 20 ton (40000 lbs) tag trailer with disc brakes. If you have a 20 ton trailer it would most likely come with air brakes. Next, you mention a tandem axle trailer with two 10000 lb axles and disc brakes, so I am thinking you were meaning the same 20000 lb trailer.
For your 20000 pound trailer with disc brakes, I recommend the Titan BrakeRite EHB Electric-Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes, part # T4813100. If the distance between the front axle to the trailer hitch is 16 feet or

- Can the Hand Held Part of Electric-Hydraulic Brake Actuator # HBAC10-CLR Plug Into Accessory Ports
- The in-cab hand held unit of the Carlisle Hydrastar XL Electric-Hydraulic Brake Actuator, # HBAC10-CLR, plugs into a cigarette lighter style receptacle.

- Recommended Brake Actuator for a Trail Rite Trailer with Disc Brakes
- The # HBAC10-CLR unit is for drum brakes, and will not work with disc brakes.
Instead, you will want to use hydraulic actuator # HBA16, which is specifically for disc brakes. My contact at Carlisle Brake confirmed that the Hydrastar model would be a better choice for your application than the Hydrastar XL, like the # HBAC10-CLR unit, because the XL series is designed more for commercial use.
Please note that you would need an electronic brake controller to use the # HBA16 actuator. I r
