Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator w/ Drop - Disc - Zinc - 2-5/16" Ball - 8,000 lbs

Features to know about

Easy Hookups Every Time: eZ-Latch Coupler Design

Connecting the trailer is simple with the eZ-Latch coupler. You don’t have to lift or hold the latch open—just lower it onto the 2-5/16" hitch ball and it snaps into place automatically. It’s a clean, one-step hookup that saves time and keeps the connection secure when you’re ready to tow up to 8,000 lbs.

Smooth Braking Without a Brake Controller: Surge-Type Operation for Disc Brakes

This actuator uses surge pressure to activate your trailer’s hydraulic disc brakes when the tow vehicle slows down. You don’t need an external brake controller or extra wiring. The actuator telescopes in and out smoothly thanks to an acetal copolymer liner, giving you consistent braking power with less jerk or noise on the road.

Built to Last: Zinc-Plated Steel with Composite Master Cylinder

The heavy-duty steel body has a zinc coating rated for 200 hours of salt spray, which helps protect against rust when used around water or road salt. Inside, the composite master cylinder is made from glass-reinforced nylon that won’t pit or corrode like metal. Together they keep performance steady even after years of use.

Matched Height and Reliable Fit: 4" Drop and 3" Channel Mount

The built-in 4" drop helps you line up the coupler height with your tow vehicle for a level setup. It bolts right onto a 3" wide trailer tongue using standard 1/2" × 4-1/2" Grade-5 bolts (not included). That makes it an easy replacement for many older actuators while maintaining a solid, factory-style fit.

Added Safety on the Road: Built-In Breakaway System

The integrated breakaway cable and snap hook are designed to engage your trailer brakes if it ever separates from the hitch. It’s a simple safeguard that works automatically, helping protect your load and giving you extra peace of mind every time you tow.
