SWINGER GLADHAND
The low-profile, compact Swinger Gladhand is designed for intermodal fleets and those pulling piggyback trailers. It follows the tractor to prevent accidental disconnects and kinking air lines. When disconnected, it closes to prevent contaminants from entering the air system. The upper portion of the gladhand rotates 180 degrees on a durable nylon glide ring, while the lower portion remains still.
