SafeConnect

Trailer coupling can be a high-risk and potentially dangerous task. In fact, 2 in 3 commercial vehicle drivers have witnessed a trailer rollaway incident caused by the inadvertent release of trailer brakes during coupling— incidents that have the potential to lead to serious injury or even fatality.

SafeConnect from Maple is an award-winning trailer coupling safety system that ensures trailer brakes remain applied throughout the entire coupling process. This protects the driver until they have safely returned to the cab and are in full control of the vehicle, where upon normal braking functionality is restored.

With no additional procedure to action, SafeConnect works seamlessly with existing best practices, helping ensure drivers are always protected from potential rollaway incidents.

Proven Reliability

A robust pneumatic system, with thousands of units successfully deployed across Europe.

Fail-Safe Operation

Prevents airflow to the emergency (red) line until coupling is safely completed.

Manual Override Function

Includes a failsafe manual override to allow controlled trailer movement in emergency situations.

Trusted by thousands throughout the UK

“A driver must complete thousands of trailer couplings in their career, 99.9% of those may well be done cor-rectly but on those rare occasions something goes amiss, I’ve seen first hand how dangerous that can be. Who knows how many times Safe-Connect has potentially prevented a rollaway or saved a life, the thought of just one is all the reason I need to specify the equipment”
