The actuator’s roller system keeps movement smooth and straight when it telescopes under braking. That means less binding, cleaner force transfer, and better control on the road. It also helps the actuator apply pressure evenly to the master cylinder for more consistent braking with disc brake systems that need around 1,500 psi.
This surge-type actuator uses sturdy steel throughout to handle tough loads up to 12,500 lbs with a maximum tongue weight of 1,250 lbs. The zinc plating fights rust and corrosion, which is a big help if your trailer spends time near water or sees a lot of road spray. The finish keeps the housing looking clean and stops pitting that can affect performance over time.
It’s designed to bolt over a standard 3" wide channel tongue using common hardware (sold separately). The mounting flange measures 8-1/4" long, giving plenty of room for secure placement. The standard 2-5/16" heavy-duty coupler includes a built-in 3" drop so your trailer sits level without extra adapters or coupler swaps.
A breakaway system comes pre-installed so your trailer brakes will engage automatically if it ever disconnects from the tow vehicle. It’s already integrated into the actuator body—no separate bracket or wiring box needed. That means one less step during installation and peace of mind when you’re hauling heavier loads or working on uneven ground.

The products that came is what I ordere d.
Great product! Quick delivery to Alaska getting us back on the water.
the package came in on Wednesday late, we had the ups driver note the box was damaged. on Monday we will inspect for any missing items or damage to the part. The box it was shipped in was not suitable for the wight of the item and the handling by ups. rated 4 stars in case the part was not damaged or missing any parts.
I have received the actuator the day it was supposed to be delivered, excellent
service. Thanks for your service and I will highly recommend etrailer to any body I know.
Product as described and delivered on time....Highly recommend them
There should've been extra padding inside the box ... end result the item was loose inside and tore into the box
Fast shipping and easy installation.
Thanks again works perfectly.. make sure to remember to buy a new reverse solenoid
I ordered this part from etrailer.com because I have ordered items from here before and I have always got what I expected. This surge break hitch arrived with other parts and functioned as expected. I would recommend etrailer as the first stop when they are looking for trailer parts. Good price, good selection, and good service.
The right hitch for the right job. Robust. Will built and hasn’t rusted yet. Easy to service.
Recieved just what i ordered, on day they said it would be here, I like the tracking feature of the product, and free shipping, thanks
