HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit Installation - Flat Bed Trailer

Hey, guys. Kevin here with etrailer, and today I'm gonna be showing you how to install the Hydrastar electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator kit for disc brakes, here on our flatbed trailer. Do you haul around heavy machinery on your trailer like our neighbor does here today And you want some more control over your braking and you want more even braking so that you can safely tow that heavy machinery and come to a complete stop exactly when you need to Then an electric-over-hydraulic disc brake kit is going to be the solution for you. The nice thing about an electric-over-hydraulic actuator is that you're gonna be able to use your electric brake controller that's in your tow vehicle. And what that's gonna do is it's going to allow you to manually adjust your breaking settings to exactly what you need it to, depending on the load that you are hauling at the time. Another thing with that is that in the event that you are having some trailer sway, you can easily tap that manual override and activate the actuator so you can kind of brake on the trailer and kind of fix that sway. more
