Triple-axle trailers put a lot of demand on your brakes, especially when you're hauling heavy equipment at highway speeds. This DeeMaxx kit replaces drum brakes with hydraulic disc brakes for more consistent stopping power during long tows.
Triple-axle trailers carry serious weight, and drum brakes can struggle with heat and consistency. This kit replaces them with DeeMaxx 12" integral hub-and-rotor assemblies designed for 6,000 lb axles. Vented rotors with drainage holes shed heat and moisture, while ceramic pads and stainless steel pistons provide smooth, controlled braking even at highway speeds.
If you launch in fresh water or tow through road salt, corrosion becomes a real concern. The Maxx coating on the hub-rotor, caliper, and bracket offers over 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance. Combined with built-in rotor drainage, this helps extend brake life and reduce rust compared to standard finishes.
The included electric-over-hydraulic actuator converts your in-cab brake controller signal into hydraulic pressure up to 1,600 psi. It reaches 1,000 psi in just 3/16 of a second for quick response. The extruded aluminum housing helps manage heat, while upgraded seals and a sealed reservoir reduce contamination risk. A rotating brake line fitting allows flexible mounting on the frame or inside a compartment.
The included brake line kit is configured specifically for triple-axle trailers. DOT- and SAE-compliant rubber hoses are easier to route than rigid steel lines and work well with torsion axles and foldaway tongues. Brass tee and cross fittings, loom clamps, and mounting hardware help you secure and protect the system along the trailer frame.
Disc brakes eliminate many of the springs and internal parts found in drum systems. The 1-piece hub-and-rotor design reduces the chance of uneven wear from trapped moisture, and laser-etched bleeding instructions on the calipers simplify future service. Fewer moving parts mean less adjustment and more consistent braking over time.

Hi everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Let's take a look at the DeeMaxx disc brake kit with actuator for triple axle trailers. Folks, you're going to get six of these 12 inch hub and rotors that feature a six on five and a half inch lug pattern. And this kit's going to be for 6,000 pound axles. So folks, excuse me, (coughs) excuse me, this is what you're going to get. You're going to get all six assemblies, you're going to get the electric over hydraulic brake actuator, all the brake hoses, brake lines, fittings, brackets to install them, the cable ties to tie everything up neatly, and of course all your bearings, races, seals, et cetera.
So again, everything is here on the table. I just don't have room for all six of these integrated rotor and hub assemblies, but you will get everything included. What I like about this is it's all one piece. So I've got holes in here for venting and to let water escape. It's a single one solid piece assembly, so it's going to be a quicker, easier installation.
I've got a six on five and a half inch lug pattern. And I've got all the bearings, races, seals, grease caps, everything with the integrated pop-off plug. That way if I have those grease (indistinct) into my spindle such as maybe like an easy loop spindle or something of that nature, I can easily access that for maintenance. As far as the pads, you're going to have ceramic pads. Pair that with these 12 inch vented rotors that's going to give you improved control over loads.
Disc brakes off ropes offer several advantages over your traditional drum brakes, including better heat dissipation, as I mentioned, more consistent braking performance improved stopping power, especially you'll notice that on hills. You'll notice that on normal braking, repeated braking, those kind of things. So again, this is really a nice integrated kit for those triple axle trailers. And if you don't want to tackle the install yourself, no problem. We've got trusted etrailer install places around the nation.
Just scroll down. Usually below the photo set on the product page, you can see a link that says something to the effect of install locator, installation link, something of that nature. Put in your zip code and then we can get you paired with somebody in your area. One last thing before we go, these do feature DeeMaxx's max coating, so they are corrosion resistant just to level up from your normal standard stuff. That's salt water, water, road saw, harsh road environments, all those kind of things. This is going to stand up better than just your basic metallic finish. Well, folks, I think that's going to wrap up our quickly together. Again, this is a complete kit. This is the DeeMaxx disc brake kit with actuator for triple axle trailers. I'm Steven with etrailer, thanks for watching.

And it looks like you are doing it all with a smile on your face Greg! Glad to hear you were prepared with the extra set of bearings as well. etrailer is lucky to have you as a neighbor (customer)! So where are you headed for the next adventure?

That doesn't looks good at all, Bob. If you run into any issues before or after install, please let me know and I can help.

The best upgrade that I could’ve made to my fifth wheel was to get rid of those drum brakes and converted over to electric over hydraulic

Glad to hear they are working better than your previous brakes, Jerry! Disc is definitely the way to go. ^___^ I will let Ashley know they are much better as well! What's the next trip you have planned to really test them out?
