Phillips Industries’ Swinger gladhands now are fully anodized to help protect against magnesium chloride, road salt and chemicals that cause corrosion. Swinger gladhands with a live swivel are designed for intermodal and piggy-back trailers where straight or angled gladhands are exposed to damage. The Swinger is designed to allow the gladhand to swivel 180 degrees without kinking the air line; when not in use, the gladhand automatically is returned to seal, protecting the air lines.
The Swinger swivel design is available with service or emergency gladhands and with the Phillips Qwik-E gladhand, which has a quick-release valve designed to release trailer brakes 50 percent faster than conventional gladhands.
