Expert Reply:
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 I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit, part # T4813102. If the distance between the front axle to the trailer hitch is 16 feet or more, it is recommended to use 1/4 inch brake line to help with a better response time of the trailer brakes. I have included a link to the installation details for # T4813102 below.
If you do not already have one, you will need a compatible brake controller to operate the BrakeRite. We have some options for brake controllers designed to work with electric over hydraulic systems, but I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, part # 90885. This brake controller is designed to work with BOTH electric AND electric over hydraulic brakes so you could use it on different types of trailers. I have included a link to the installation details below.
You will also need a compatible breakaway system should the trailer become disconnected from the towing vehicle. I recommend the Gel Cell Breakaway Kit, part # T4822100, as it will work with the BrakeRite system and it meets Department of Transportation requirements.
