HydraStar is an Electric over Hydraulic trailer brake actuator manufactured in the USA by Carlisle, who have been in the brake industry for over 50 years. With this unit you will have the ultimate in control and safety as the HydraStar has the quickest response time and the lowest current draw of any actuator on the market. The HydraStar eliminates the brake drag common with surge actuators on down hill grades and also works easily in reverse. It is easy to operate, the trailer brakes engage when the tow vehicle brake pedal is applied or over-ridden by an in cab controller. It is also the only actuator that is directly compatible with the more advanced in-cab brake controllers, such as the Tekonsha Prodigy and P3.
HydraStar units are available in 1200psi for trailers up to 3.5 Tonne or there is also a 1600psi unit for those larger trailers greater than 3.5 Tonne. Carlisle offers a 2 year warranty on the HydraStar units.
The HydraStar Battery and Breakaway Kit are required to complete the HydraStar package. The breakaway switch is fitted to both the trailer and the tow vehicle ensuring that should the trailer become separated from the tow vehicle, the breakaway switch is activated and the trailer brakes are applied.
Can be used in conjunction with a P3 Tekonsha Prodigy.
Breakaway Kit is included.
