The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX56FR has a 2" ball coupler and is compatible with disc trailer brakes. While this actuator does come with an electric lockout that ties to the reverse light circuit to prevent pressure from getting to the brake calipers, you can also use it manually. The Lockout Key # DX94FR can be placed in the actuator groove to prevent it from being able to cycle when you need to lockout the actuator. This particular actuator is designed to bolt to a 3"x5" trailer frame. We also have it for a 3"x4" # DX29FR frame.
