Backing up a loaded trailer can be tricky, especially on slopes or tight corners. The built-in electric reverse lockout on this actuator keeps the brakes from engaging when you shift into reverse, so the trailer rolls freely without drag. It’s automatically activated through a 5-pole flat, 6-way round, or 7-pole wiring harness, which makes reversing smooth and stress-free every time.
This surge-type actuator is built for serious braking power. It’s rated for 20,000 lbs with a maximum tongue weight of 2,000 lbs and works with disc brakes to deliver solid, consistent stopping force. The roller design inside the telescoping mechanism cuts resistance so the movement stays straight and true under load. Whether you’re hauling heavy gear or long trailers, you get steady braking that matches your tow vehicle’s deceleration.
Heavy-duty steel construction gives this unit the toughness to handle rough use and resist bending in tight jackknife situations. The zinc plating shields it from rust and corrosion, which is great for long-term use around water or road salt. The standard coupler includes a built-in 3" drop that helps level your setup while keeping everything strong and secure.
Installing this actuator is straightforward. It bolts right over a 3" wide channel tongue using standard grade-5 hardware. There’s no need for welding or complicated fabrication—just line up the mounting pattern and bolt it on solid. That means less downtime in the shop and more time towing with confidence.
If the trailer ever separates from the hitch, the built-in breakaway kit automatically applies the brakes to bring it to a stop. It’s a simple but critical layer of safety that helps protect your trailer and everything behind it during an emergency disconnect.
