Expert Reply:

You can use Titan Galphorite Free-Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly, # T4423400, with a brake actuating coupler with reverse lockout provided the actuator is designed for use with drum brakes. You will be able to back up whether the reverse lockout is engaged or not because hydraulic pressure is contained by the wheel cylinder nullifying the lockout.

Basically, what will happen is when you start backing up, the brakes will grab a little and then with continued backward motion they will release allowing you to back up without the brake engaging. I have included a link to the installation details for this brake assembly for reference. The left hand brake is # T4423500.
