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