The EZ-Pull 2’s dual compression/retraction spring mechanism reduces the effort needed to pull the pin release handle and eliminates most of the problems associated with bound-up lock pins.
The EZ-PULL 2 reduces the pull force required to retract the lock pins by over 50% compared to the previous EZ-Pull system. A driver can pull and lock the handle with very little effort… the same effort each time no matter how many pins are jammed. Like all other Hutch products, the EZ-PULL 2 is manufactured using the highest quality materials and is backed by our famous Hutch warranty.
– Improved pull handle ergonomics
– Less potential damage to the linkages with an improved cam system.
– Dual compression/retraction spring system at each pin.
– Serviceable pin cartridge.
– And backed by Hutchens warranty.
The P5 is an air-operated lock pin retraction system that utilizes a push/pull valve to retract the slider lock pins using a Type 9 brake chamber. The P5 control valve also has the added feature of a brake interlock that resets the button and exhausts air to the chamber when the trailer parking brakes are released.
As opposed to a manual pull handle, the P5 utilizes a push/pull button valve to retract the slider lock pins. Simply pull the button out after the trailer brakes are set to retract the lock pins.
1. The P5 push/pull button will not remain in the outboard “pin retracted” position unless the trailer brakes are set.
2. When the parking brakes are released the air will exhaust from the chamber and the lock pins will re-engage automatically when they are aligned with the holes in the body rails.
3. This interlock helps prevent unintentional drive-offs and operation of the trailer with the slider lock pins retracted.
