Expert Reply:

I would recommend the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit, part # T4813102, for your triple axle trailer using disc brakes on all three axles. This actuator is designed for triple axle trailers and will need to have your tow vehicle wired with an in-cab brake controller like the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller, part # 90885. This brake controller works with electric over hydraulic or just electric trailer brake systems. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.

I would also recommend the Titan Gel Cell Breakaway Kit, part # T4822100, which is designed for use with the Titan BrakeRite actuator. The two 5-amp-hour batteries are connected in parallel to provide the Department of Transportation requirement of 15 minutes of braking.
