This actuator is made from heavy-duty steel and treated with zinc plating that holds up against corrosion 2 times longer than a standard coating. The 200-hour salt spray rating makes it a solid choice for trailers that see wet, salty, or rough conditions. The built-in drop helps line up your trailer height, and the 20,000-lb gross towing weight rating gives you plenty of strength for serious hauling.
The EZ-Latch system makes hitching fast and foolproof. You don’t have to hold back a trigger or guess if the latch is seated; just lower the coupler onto the hitch ball and listen for the metallic clink that tells you it’s locked. Once it’s on, you can add a locking pin through the side hole if you want extra theft protection. The secure connection means you spend less time checking your latch and more time getting on the road.
Inside, the glass-reinforced nylon master cylinder keeps things running clean and consistent. It won’t rust or pit, and the large reservoir helps prevent low fluid levels during long trips. The automotive-style diaphragm cap seals out contamination so your brake fluid stays fresh longer. Together, these features make braking smooth and reliable without needing a separate brake controller.
The inner slide moves on a heavy-duty, self-lubricating acetal copolymer liner that keeps everything gliding easily under load. It’s tough, quiet, and durable, so the actuator telescopes smoothly when slowing or stopping and returns to position when you pull away again. That smooth operation translates to steadier braking and less wear over time.
Designed to bolt right on top of a 3" wide trailer tongue using 1/2" x 4-1/2" Grade-5 bolts (not included), this surge actuator is straightforward to mount. The built-in breakaway cable with snap hook adds safety by stopping your trailer if it ever disconnects. Once bolted in place, it’s ready to deliver years of strong, dependable performance with hydraulic drum brakes.

Fine - I don’t use the brakes - just the tongue as that is the same model that was on there before
