Titan Hydraulic Trailer Parts

Other products include drum brake assemblies with a parking brake, hydraulic line kits, and electric-to-hydraulic conversion kits.

Electric lockout
Hinged, foldaway designs
Disc brake compatible

Titan Galphorite Free-Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly

Drum brake assembly provides superior protection from corrosion and lets you reverse without actuating. Designed for use with hydraulic brake actuators that do not include reverse lockouts. Fits most 13", 14" and 15" wheels.

Features:

Galphorite plating delivers superior corrosion protection
- Backing plate and shoe levers are sealed with permanently bonded electrocoat primer
- Second coat of rugged acrylic is applied to backing plate - nearly rustproof
- Wheel cylinders are treated with hot black oxide
- Internal components are olive drab, zinc plated
- Stainless steel springs
Free-backing design lets you reverse without trailer brakes being activated
- Specifically designed for use with surge-style trailer brake actuators
- Hydraulic pressure is contained by wheel cylinder

The unique free-backing design, patented by Titan, lets your trailer move in reverse without actuating the brakes. When you begin backing up, the brake shoes are firm against the drum, as in a braking situation. As you continue in reverse, however, the shoes turn with the drum until the lining pressure is released and you are able to back up freely. These brakes are designed to eliminate friction between the shoes and drum when you are driving in reverse. A trailer breakaway kit will not be effective should your trailer disconnect from your tow vehicle when backing up.

Titan Zinc-Plated, Adjustable-Channel Brake Actuator

Adjustable-channel, surge-type actuator bolts over 3" wide trailer tongue and lets you mount your coupler (sold separately) in three different positions to match your application. Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance.

Features:

Hydraulic actuator synchronizes trailer brakes with tow-vehicle brakes
Unique roller design reduces resistance during telescoping to create straight-line movement
Sturdy, durable steel construction resists bending in jackknife situations
Adjustable channel has 3 different mounting positions for coupler (sold separately)
Breakaway kit included
Zinc plating provides corrosion resistance
Bolt-on installation

Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator w/ Drop, Electric Lockout

Corrosion-resistant, surge-type actuator bolts over 3" wide trailer tongue and includes standard, heavy-duty coupler with 3" drop. Electric reverse lockout lets you back up without activating the trailer brakes.

Features:

Hydraulic actuator synchronizes trailer brakes with tow-vehicle brakes
Electric reverse lockout lets you back up without actuating trailer brakes
- Built-in shield protects solenoid valve from the elements
Unique roller design reduces resistance during telescoping to create straight-line movement
Sturdy, durable steel construction resists bending in jackknife situations
Standard, heavy-duty coupler with built-in drop
Breakaway kit included
Zinc plating is corrosion resistant
Bolt-on installation

When you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum pushes your trailer toward the rear of your vehicle. With surge brake systems, the actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward while the tow vehicle slows. The actuator telescopes, applying force to its master cylinder, which in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage the trailer's brakes. Electric reverse lockout with solenoid is automatically activated when the tow vehicle is shifted into reverse. To use this feature, you must have a 5-pole flat, 6-way round or 7-pole wiring harness.
