Light up your connections
Pinjaw Lites are all-weather, commercial-grade safety lights designed for fifth wheel connection and trailer undercarriage illumination. They are available in two light configurations of 1600-lumen Grote BriteZone LEDs. Pinjaw Lites are designed to shine a spotlight on dark areas stretching from the kingpin to the rear of a trailer. The single work lamp configuration is ideal for connection illumination while the three-light setup also covers the middle and rear areas of the trailer, giving drivers a clear view when inspecting the fifth wheel jaw and kingpin, trailer floor, air lines, and brake chambers and linings. The lighting system shines for 10 minutes once an electrical connection is made between a coupled tractor and trailer. Visit Pinjaw.com or call 519-550-3162 for more information.
