Friction Sway Control

Friction Sway Control uses friction to resist pivotal movement and thereby works
against the effects of induced sway. It operates on the principle of "stiffening"
the coupling between the tow vehicle and trailer. The degree of "stiffening" or
friction is adjusted to suit various trailer weights and towing conditions. Its
operation is simple and uncomplicated. It doesn't prevent the generation of
sway; it simply works to resist the forces once they have started.

Dual Cam HP

This patented product is the premier method for controlling
trailer sway. Unlike the friction sway control, this approach
works to control sway from the start rather than just
resisting sway once it's begun. And it works only when
needed. When towing in a straight line, the cams on either
side of the trailers A-frame are locked in position. This
essentially creates a "rigid" connection between tow vehicle
and trailer and minimizes the effects of induced sway caused
by high crosswinds or passing vehicles. Usually the cams ride
in a detent, locked-in position, even on fairly sharp curves.
However, when cornering maneuvers are required, the cams
automatically slide out of their detent to permit full radius
turns. Yet when the maneuver is short and abrupt, like that
encountered in the event of a sudden swerve or a wheel
dropping off the road, the cams seek a straight-line towing
angle that helps the tow vehicle retain control. The
advantage of the Dual Cam system is its ability to forestall
sway in addition to sway resistance. It works to hold down
the start of swaying activity while at the same time allowing
free and easy vehicle and trailer interaction. Another
advantage of the Dual Cam system is that it's installed on the
trailer and therefore doesn't require adjustment every time
the towing vehicle and trailer are hooked up, unless hitch
weight or tow vehicle loading are changed.
