SafeConnect

Safer Trailer Coupling Starts with the Award Winning SafeConnect

Trailer coupling is one of the highest-risk tasks performed by commercial vehicle drivers. Research shows that two-thirds of drivers have witnessed a trailer rollaway incident caused by the unintended release of trailer brakes during coupling—a scenario that has the capacity to result in serious injury or even fatality.

SafeConnect from Maple is an award-winning trailer coupling safety device designed to eliminate this risk. By ensuring trailer brakes remain applied throughout the entire coupling process, SafeConnect protects drivers from rollaway incidents until they have safely returned to the cab and are fully in control of the vehicle.

Once the coupling process is complete and the driver is back in the cab, normal braking functionality is automatically restored.

Requiring no additional actions or changes to established procedures, SafeConnect integrates seamlessly with existing coupling best practices—providing an extra layer of protection without adding complexity. The result is a safer, more controlled coupling process that helps protect drivers, vehicles, and operations every day.

The Key Features:

Automatic Activation

Engages instantly when service lines are disconnected, with no additional actions required from the driver.

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.

Meachers Global Install SafeConnect

Trusted by thousands to deliver peace of mind during coupling procedures.

“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 SafeConnect has potentially prevented a rollaway or saved a life, the thought of just one is all the reason I need to specify the equipment”
