Types of Gladhands
Typically, the gladhands will be rigid mounted to a trailer and sit in a fixed location. On the truck they will be mounted at the ends of air hoses. The air hoses will be an adequate length to allow the truck to turn and the trailer to follow without pulling on the gladhands or destroying the lines. Basic gladhands will do the job but in some situations gladhands with different configurations can make life a bit easier.
