Enhance your marine towing setup with our high-capacity Disc Brake Actuator, specifically designed to provide reliable and synchronized braking for your boat trailers. Whether you’re hauling heavy watercraft or ensuring safe maneuvers on the water, this actuator offers the performance and durability you need.
How It Works
The Disc Brake Actuator operates using a surge or push mechanism. When the trailer moves toward the tow vehicle, the actuator telescopes, transferring force to the master cylinder. This process automatically synchronizes the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle’s brakes, ensuring smooth and efficient stopping. Additionally, the built-in, sealed, independent dampening shock absorber manages the telescoping action against the hitch, providing stability and reducing vibrations during transit.
Compliance and Safety
Adhering to state brake regulations is crucial for safe towing. Our actuator helps meet or exceed minimum brake standards, making it ideal for trailers that need to comply with Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (G.V.W.R.). Remember, the G.V.W.R. encompasses both the trailer and its load, ensuring your setup remains within safe limits.
Before installing the actuator or any braking system, consult your tow vehicle’s owner manual for towing capacity and specific braking recommendations to ensure compatibility and safety.
