    Can someone explain me what each one is for? I have asked some guys with more experience than me but no one seems to know it all. Could not find any useful info on the internet.

    Appreciate you.

    It's a car hauler. The 3 lines on the far left and far right are brake, electrical pigtail, brake. The 2 lines between those 3 lines are hydraulic lines for moving decks up/down.

    Thank you.

    Can you tell me why there are 2 (or 3?) hoses for brake?
    What are 2nd and 3rd one from the right side?

    Is it possible that trailer has a seperate braking system on each half (Side) of tandems? Requiring maybe two pairs of cab buttons?

    I don't haul cars. 2nd from right is an electrical connection, some sort of auxiliary connection. 3rd from right is an air brake glad hand. I don't know why there are 2 sets of brakes & pigtails. Check out the car hauler section.

    He asked this over in carhaul.

    The extra glad hands are for the overlift and sliding kingpin. Small electric is for work lights and electric pump switch.
