The Hayes air brake controller # HA100400C is designed to be used with air brakes on the vehicle and electric brakes on the trailer so it will not work for you. The only brake controllers that we have are for air to electric, electric over hydraulic, or just electric trailer brakes. You would have to convert the trailer over to a different braking system to use one of these controllers.

This would require a lot of changes to the trailer including the hubs and drums, brake assemblies, wiring or hydraulic lines added depending on the system, a coupler depending on the system, and other miscellaneous items for installation.

I have included some links that cover different parts needed to add various types of braking systems to a trailer.
