Load Rite by Dexter 8500 lb Disc Brake Actuator

The Load Rite by Dexter 8.5K Actuator is a surge brake actuator for trailers with disc brakes. It's rated at 8,500 lb and fits a 2 inch hitch ball. Surge brakes apply the trailer brakes automatically as the tow vehicle slows.

As the trailer pushes forward against the hitch during braking, the actuator converts that motion into hydraulic pressure for the brakes. No electric brake controller is needed in the tow vehicle. That's why surge brakes are common on boat trailers.

Make sure your trailer's gross weight is within the 8,500 lb rating and that the brakes are disc type. Bleed the brake lines after installation. Inspect the surrounding brackets and fasteners during installation, since worn mounting hardware can undermine a new replacement part. Browse more trailer brakes and actuators.
