Swinger Gladhands add corrosion protection

Oct 16, 2010

The Swinger Gladhands from Phillips Industries are now anodized to protect against magnesium chloride, road salt and other chemicals that cause corrosion. The Swinger Gladhands work with intermodal and piggy-back trailers where straight or angled gladhands are exposed to damage. The gladhands can swivel 180 degrees and prevent airlines from kinking. Available for original equipment and can be retrofitted.
