Hayman Reese Friction Sway Controller - Standard

Hayman Reese sway controllers are designed to be used in conjunction with a weight distribution system and prevent trailer sway by restricting and damping the movement between the tow hitch and the trailer. The Friction Sway Controller manages sway by using friction material (similar to what is used in modern disc brake pads) and a sliding bar with an adjustable lever to regulate the movement of the trailer. All current Weight Distribution System heads come with a mounting tab to enable use of this sway controlling device. For older Weight Distribution Systems a mounting tab is required to be welded to the head — this can be done by your Hayman Reese distributor. To allow for easy reversing, Hayman Reese suggests the Friction Sway Controller is removed, which is a quick and easy task. A Friction Sway Controller can be used with Weight Distribution Systems 550lb, 600lb, 750lb & 800lb models, and is perfect for trailers up to a 200kg ball weight. Sway controllers are not suitable for use with trailers fitted with older surge or override trailer braking systems. Each 26660 Fitting Instructions (PDF)
