New Hassle-Free Multi-Functional QWIK-CLAMP™ From Phillips Industries Secures Cables in Seconds

Santa Fe Springs, CA – (Trailer Technician) Phillips Industries introduces their new patented multi-functional QWIK-CLAMP™, a hassle-free, robust, corrosion-resistant solution for securing hoses or cables to any support system between a tractor and trailer. It converts easily from a 1, 2, or 3-hose holder to a cable clamp for a 3-IN-1 by simply removing an insert.

Unlike traditional hose holders and cable clamps, with the QWIK-CLAMP, cable installation takes seconds and requires no tools. The clamp’s secure draw latch creates a positive lock, keeping up to three cables or a 3-IN-1 in place, staying connected at over 100 lbs. of pull force. With the insert installed the QWIK-CLAMP supports straight ABS electrical cables and 3/8” rubber air hoses, or coiled ABS electrical cables and nylon air lines with long leads. Without the insert, it will support all Phillips 3-IN-1 assemblies and other applications approximately 1.6” in diameter.

In addition to the clamp itself, Phillips has also launched a tracker spring kit with QWIK-CLAMP. It combines the multi-functional technology of the QWIK-CLAMP with the strength and durability of their extra heavy-duty galvanized 20.5” tender spring. The entire system clips on and off the back of the cab without unbolting the sliding tracker bar. The result is an all-in-one, easy-to-install cable support system for various applications.
