Features to know about

Straight-Line Braking: Unique Roller Design Cuts Resistance

The actuator’s roller setup keeps everything moving smoothly when the brakes engage. Instead of binding or twisting, the telescoping action tracks in a straight line, which means cleaner braking force every time. It feels more controlled, especially when you’re hauling heavier loads up to 12,500 lbs.

Flexible Setup: 3-Position Adjustable Channel

The built-in adjustable channel gives you three different mounting positions for your coupler (sold separately). It makes it easy to dial in the right height for your setup so your trailer stays level and balanced. The channel fits over a 3" wide trailer tongue and is about 3-1/2" wide inside, so it’s ready for standard hardware.

Built to Take a Beating: Durable Steel Frame

This actuator is made from tough steel that holds its shape even when things get tight in a jackknife situation. The sturdy construction resists bending and keeps its alignment so your brakes stay responsive. The painted finish adds protection against wear and weather out on the job.

Simple Bolt-On Mount: Ready for a 3" Channel Tongue

Installation is straightforward with its bolt-on design. It fits right over a 3" wide trailer tongue, so you can mount it securely without extra fabrication. The breakaway kit comes included for added safety if the trailer ever separates from the tow vehicle.

Hydraulic Control You Can Count On: Surge-Type for Drum Brakes

The hydraulic system automatically synchronizes with your tow vehicle’s braking. As the trailer moves forward during deceleration, the actuator telescopes and builds hydraulic pressure to apply the drum brakes. It’s a dependable surge setup that doesn’t need wiring or electronics, just clean mechanical control when you hit the brakes.
