Safim has created a single device , in compliance with the regulations, which eliminates both the risks deriving from an incorrect connection and any dispersion of polluting material in the event of an accident, also combining the aspect of simplicity and ergonomics of the component. For the connection between tractor and trailer, two coupling joints are usually used which must comply with ISO 5676 and ISO 16028 standards. The use of two different joints puts the operator in the condition of carrying out two connection operations, thus giving rise to the possibility of running into connection errors and operating anomalies. The block has an ergonomic and simple structure , the coupling to the respective CL and SL lines is not interchangeable, moreover it is not possible to accidentally forget to connect one of the two hydraulic lines, generating potential problems in handling the trailer, braking and safety. The body of the joint is equipped with a sliding plate with sliding and rotating movement that allows the attachment of both lines in safety and without effort . The release operation is also performed in a simple and intuitive way. Safim has not limited itself to assembling parts in a single body, but has also added a safety aspect related to emergency braking . In fact, by adopting the Safim connection joint, in the event of an accident, a cable allows the detachment of the trailer by activating the emergency braking, at the same time this avoids the generation of oil spills on the ground , also safeguarding the environmental aspect. Below is a small video showing the coupling and uncoupling phases of the device.
