Coupling and uncoupling the correct way in the right order is critically important to ensure that all trailer functions operate correctly and avoid unnecessary accidents.

Split coupling is the frowned-upon practice of reversing the tractor fifth wheel under the trailer bed plate just enough to support the trailer but not enough to couple positively with the trailer kingpin.

Don-Bur's innovation, EBS-Safe, reinforces best practices for coupling, particularly the crucial ISO 7638 line connection. Enhancing safety in coupling and uncoupling procedures.

ISO 7638: Vital 7-pin electrical trailer coupling powering ECU, enabling fast braking, load sensing, and roll stability. Legally required since May 2002.

Trailer couplings refer to both the electrical and pneumatic lines that span between, and connect, the tractor unit and trailer.

EBS: Electronic Braking System, upgraded from ABS. Requires active ISO 7638 connection; loss leads to default full air-signal braking.

Air line connections: C couplings in the UK. Palm couplings in Europe. Adapters may be needed for UK-EU tractor-trailer connections.
