Gladhands are critical components in truck-trailer air brake systems, serving as the coupling interface that allows quick connection and disconnection of air supply lines. The blue service gladhand specifically controls the trailer's service brakes during normal operation, while the red emergency gladhand (sold separately) controls the spring brakes and parking system.
