Question:
Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for a 24,000 Pound Tandem Axle Trailer with Disc Brakes
asked by: MIke M
Expert Reply:
For your 24,000 pound trailer with disc brakes, I recommend the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit, # T4813102. If the distance between the front axle to the trailer hitch is 16 feet or more, it is recommended to use 1/4 inch brake line to help with a better response time of the trailer brakes. I have included a link to the installation details for # T4813102 below.
If you do not already have one, you will need a compatible brake controller to operate the BrakeRite. We have some options for brake controllers designed to work with electric over hydraulic systems, but I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885. This brake controller is designed to work with BOTH electric AND electric over hydraulic brakes so you could use it on different types of trailers. I have included a link to the installation details below.
You will also need a compatible breakaway system should the trailer become disconnected from the towing vehicle. I recommend the Gel Cell Breakaway Kit, # T4822100, as it will work with the BrakeRite system and it meets Department of Transportation requirements.
