Specs:
Note: This actuator is compatible with the Demco manual reverse lockout kit (DM5939). If you choose not to add the reverse lockout, it is recommended that you equip your trailer with free-backing brakes so that you can drive in reverse without the actuator triggering your trailer's brakes.
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 hydraulic actuator is triggered as your trailer moves forward, once your tow vehicle starts to slow down. When this happens, the actuator contracts, applying force to its master cylinder. This in turn supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer's brakes.
The coupler portion of this trailer brake actuator features a simple-to-use latching mechanism known as the eZ-Latch. With this mechanism, hooking up is as easy as dropping the coupler over your trailer hitch ball. The latch does not need to be tugged or manually activated to allow the ball into the coupler socket, nor does it have to be secured in place. Just make sure that the coupler is properly lined up with the ball when you lower it, and the rest is automatic.
Sturdy, Corrosion-Resistant Construction
Made of sturdy steel, this hydraulic trailer brake actuator features a durable zinc coating that is designed to limit rust and corrosion. This zinc coat has a 200-hour salt spray rating. In addition, the composite master cylinder is made of corrosion-resistant glass-reinforced nylon to further ensure durability.

Hitch arrived early and looks just like the picture and description. It is an exact replacement for the original. All the parts are available to rebuild the unit as well but mine was rusted pretty badly so I would have had a lot of time refinishing everything I didn't replace. In my situation there was about a $50 difference between rebuilding old or complete new unit. If your hitch is in better shape than mine, they have an excellent selection of repair parts. I would suggest taking yours apart and as long as it's not rusted solid, they can probably supply you with parts for less than $70.
Had a hard time trying to find this product, but E trailer was able to provide me with great service and found the trailer hitch I needed for my trailer.
The actuator works great and I have now sold the trailer and the new owner is very happy with the unt
Great. Item came early notices were very fast. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Thank you very much.
