Product Details
The T4809700 is a bolt-on hydraulic surge actuator for trailers equipped with drum brakes. When the tow vehicle slows, trailer momentum compresses the actuator and sends hydraulic pressure to the trailer brakes.
Its zinc-plated steel housing resists corrosion. The adjustable front channel provides three mounting positions for a compatible coupler, lunette ring, or other approved attachment.
Before ordering: Confirm hydraulic drum brakes, trailer capacity, tongue width, mounting dimensions, coupler compatibility, and reverse-operation requirements.
Features
Hydraulic Surge Operation
Applies hydraulic drum brakes automatically as trailer momentum compresses the actuator.
Adjustable Front Channel
Provides three mounting positions for a compatible coupler or attachment.
Roller-Guided Movement
Supports straight telescoping movement while reducing internal resistance.
Zinc-Plated Steel
Helps protect the actuator housing against rust and corrosion.
Bolt-On Installation
Designed to bolt over a compatible 3-inch-wide trailer tongue.
