Hydraulic brakes are simple, safe and dependable. They've been proved over years of automotive service, and they're still preferred. They are usually pedal-operated, and the driver can regulate them to suit his needs. But how can he regulate them to suit his needs with a trailer behind him? Ho can he compensate for variable loads?

The answer is surge braking...automatic surge braking, always regulated by the trailer's own weight and deceleration requirement, always ready to deliver up to the full capacity of the brakes without relying on external, auxiliary power supply, or fluid-robbing slave cylinder.

In the event of accidental separation, the positive on-or-off breakaway mechanism provides immediate emergency stopping power, while its unique design prevents unintended partial application.
