Hydraulic Brakes
Dexter offers several varieties of hydraulic trailer brakes. Your
vehicle may be equipped with the traditional drum brakes or
you may have disc brakes.
The hydraulic brakes on your trailer are much like those on
your automobile or light truck. The hydraulic fluid from a master
cylinder or actuation system is used to actuate the wheel
cylinder which, in turn, applies force against the brake shoes
and drum. The main difference between automotive hydraulic
brakes and hydraulic trailer brakes is the trailers' actuation
system. These systems respond to the braking signal from the
tow vehicle and supply the required brake fluid volume and
pressure to the trailer brakes.
In the following pages you will find a more detailed description
of the hydraulic brakes and actuation system used on your
trailer.
