Titan Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - T4819900 Review- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Titan Leverlock Brake Actuator. This hydraulic actuator is designed to simply synchronize your trailer brakes with your tow vehicle brakes. Now this is important to have, because when you're towing a trailer, and you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, momentum actually pushes the trailer towards the rear of the vehicle. This can really put a lot of strain and stress on different components of your vehicle.Once you have this installed and when you slow down, this brake actuator actually supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer's brakes at the same time that you're braking in your vehicle. So that's going to make your setup a lot more smoother and safer.A few features about this actuator. It features a lever lock coupler mechanism. more

Titan Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator - T4715410 Review- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the Titan Zinc-Plated Leverlock Brake Actuator with the included lockout shield. The hydraulic actuator is designed to synchronize your trailer brakes with your tow vehicle brakes. So, in your towing setup, when you are going down the road and when you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, deceleration occurs and momentum actually pushes your trailer towards the rear of your vehicle. When that happens, if you have this installed, the actuator is triggered and applies force to its master cylinder, which is this component right here. And that then supplies the necessary hydraulic pressure to engage your trailer's brakes. So, this unit again is designed to synchronize the trailer brakes with the tow vehicle brakes. more

Titan Brake Actuator with Electric Lockout Review- Video
Speaker 1: Today, we'll be having a look at the Titan brake actuator with electric lockout, part number T4606520. Here's what our coupler looks like installed. Now, the reason you're going to want a coupler like this is if your surge coupler on your trailer is damaged and no longer functions properly, and you're not getting working surge brakes. This is a way to fix that for you. Or if you're building a trailer and you want to have surge brakes on it, this is an ideal solution for you.So the way surge brakes work is when you start to slow down your towing vehicle, the weight of the trailer will push forward, pushing our surge actuator inside the coupler here, and that will apply the brakes on the trailer. Now, since this happens by a motion of pushing back, when you go to back up your trailer, most applications, the brakes will be applied.However, this one has a reverse lockout solenoid that, when it senses the reverse output from the electrical connector on your towing vehicle, this will cut out the flow of fluid to the brakes so you don't have to worry about them being applied. more
