Backing up a loaded trailer can be tough when the brakes keep grabbing. This actuator’s manual reverse lockout makes that problem go away. Just rotate the tab on the side of the actuator to the left before reversing, and it keeps the inner slide from telescoping. That means no dragging brakes or frustration when backing into a tight spot. When you’re done, swing the tab back and you’re ready to tow forward again.
The built-in 8" adjustable channel gives you three mounting positions to fine-tune your coupler height. Whether you’re using a ball coupler, lunette ring, or clevis attachment, you can line everything up so the trailer tows level. Because it’s a channel-down design, the coupler sits lower for extra drop—perfect when you’re working with taller trailers or uneven ground.
This actuator is rated for 8,000 lbs gross towing weight and 800 lbs maximum tongue weight, so it’s ready for tough jobs day after day. The heavy-duty steel body comes primed for welding and painting, letting you match it to your trailer once it’s mounted. It’s a straightforward weld-on setup built for farm and construction trailers that see real use.
The composite master cylinder uses glass-reinforced nylon that resists rust and corrosion far better than metal versions. Its large reservoir keeps plenty of brake fluid on hand for your hydraulic drum brakes, while an automotive-style diaphragm cap seals out dirt and moisture to protect the system from contamination.
Inside the actuator is an acetal copolymer lining that acts like a bearing surface between moving parts. It’s self-lubricating and extremely durable, which means no greasing required and smooth telescoping action every time you brake. This same material is used in automotive and bearing applications, so it’s built to hold up under heavy use on trailers that work as hard as you do.
