Phillips Industries has announced that its Swinger gladhands are now fully anodized to protect against magnesium chloride, road salt and other chemicals that cause corrosion. Swinger gladhands with live swivel were developed for intermodal and piggy back trailers where straight or angled gladhands are exposed to damage, the company noted.

The Swinger offers a 180-deg. swivel action without kinking the air line, noted Phillips.

It is available with service or emergency gladhands as well as with the Phillips Qwik-E gladhand with quick release valve. All gladhands from Phillips are available with original equipment or as replacement or retrofit parts, according to the company.
