Powerful Braking, Confident Towing: Choosing the Right Brake Actuator

Whether you're upgrading your braking system or replacing a worn-out actuator, the right choice ensures smooth, controlled stops. From hydraulic to electric-over-hydraulic options, we’ll help you find the best fit for your trailer and towing setup.

The right actuator depends on your trailer’s weight, brake type (disc or drum), and towing setup. Hydraulic surge actuators work well for boat and utility trailers, while electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) actuators provide better control for heavy loads.
A surge brake actuator uses the trailer’s momentum to apply braking force, while an EOH actuator converts an electric signal from the tow vehicle into hydraulic pressure. EOH systems offer more precise braking and work with modern brake controllers.
Regularly check the hydraulic fluid level, inspect for leaks or corrosion, and test the breakaway system if equipped. For electric-over-hydraulic actuators, ensure the wiring and connections are clean and functioning properly.
