Can the Titan Model 20 Brake Actuator be Used for Triple Axle Trailer with Disc Brakes on All Axles
Updated 08/14/2014 | Published 08/13/2014 >
Question:
I have a triple axle boat trailer with drum brakes on only two axles. Can i use the titan 20 for disc brakes and convert all three axles to disc? Will it provide enough psi and fluid volume for the extra set of calipers, or is the titan 20 only good for two axles?Thank You for your input!

You could use the Titan actuator # T4750720 for 6 brake assemblies. You might want to switch to a larger diameter brake line though. That will help with braking power and response time.
You could possibly put on brakes on the third axle as long as it has brake mounting flanges already in place. Otherwise you would have to have flanges welded on. This is a precision job that requires a special jig and someone with experience in welding on flanges. I have included a link to the right that explains the parts needed to add disc brakes to a trailer.
I have also included a link to the disc brake options that we carry.
