Weight Distribution
When using a Weight Distribution System, the ball weight remains the same, however the load is evenly distributed through the vehicle’s chassis to all four wheels. It is important that the capacity of the Weight Distribution System is correctly chosen and that the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations are always followed. ISP Glendale’s knowledgeable staff can help you find the right Weight Distribution System for you.

Hayman Reese Dual Cam High Performance Sway Control
The Hayman Reese Dual Cam High-Performance™ Sway Controller is the premier method of controlling sway,and the only product of its kind in the Australian market.
The advantage of the Dual Cam system is its ability to prevent 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.
The Dual Cam HP is fitted in conjunction with any Heavy Duty Hayman Reese Weight Distribution System that includes high performance spring bars with Cams. It is ideal for any trailers with a ball weights in excess of 200kg.
Hayman Reese Friction Sway Control
Complete sway control can be obtained by fitting a Hayman Reese Friction sway controller. Hayman Reese sway controllers are designed to be used in conjunction with a weight distributing systems and prevent trailer sway by restricting and damping the movement between the tow hitch and the trailer.
A Friction Sway Controller can be used with Weight Distribution Systems 550lb, 600lb, 750lb & 800lb models, and are perfect for trailers up to a 200kg ball weight.
