This hydraulic surge actuator delivers the stopping power needed for trailers with disc brakes and heavy loads up to 20,000 lbs GTW and 2,000 lbs tongue weight. When the tow vehicle slows down, the actuator’s internal roller design moves in a straight line with low resistance to apply consistent braking pressure. The sturdy steel body resists bending in jackknife situations, keeping braking smooth and controlled even under tough conditions.
The offset adjustable channel gives you plenty of flexibility when lining up your trailer. It has 5 mounting positions and a built-in drop that’s ideal for tall trailers, letting you set your lunette ring or coupler at the right height for a level tow. The 3" lunette ring couples easily with a pintle hitch and stays steady on rough terrain.
This actuator is built for long-term use with a weld-on design that forms a solid connection to your straight, 3" wide trailer tongue. The outer casing comes primed so it’s ready for paint or finishing, while the inner slide is painted for extra corrosion protection. It’s a rugged setup designed to handle heavy-duty work without loosening or flexing.
A built-in breakaway kit adds another layer of protection by activating the brakes if the trailer ever separates from the tow vehicle. It’s wired and ready to use, so you get peace of mind every time you hitch up.
Since this actuator does not include a reverse lockout, it’s best paired with free-backing brakes that let you reverse without engaging the system. That keeps things simple—no extra solenoids or wiring—just straightforward mechanical braking when you need it most.
