Hydrastar Actuator for Drum Brakes Work With Ford F600 Converted Into Trailer

Updated 12/08/2023 | Published 12/07/2023

Question:

Would this actuator work to actuate the drum brakes on the rear axle drum brakes of an Ford F600 which has been built into a trailer? The trailer is built as a gooseneck and is pulled by a 2013 Ford F350. Thanks

I'm assuming you're using the F600 axles and brakes as part of that trailer. If that is the case, we do not have anything that is designed for vehicle brakes or any information on the output pressure required for your F600 brakes. I suppose if you knew 1,200 psi was correct then the # HS381-8066 would work, but this is not something that has been tested. If your trailer conversion replaced the axles and drum brakes with trailer axles/brakes then you would be able to use the Hydrastar without any issues.
