Does anybody use a portable tire inflator?

Add a quick connect on your trailer tank. Or a valve that you can put a male or female hose connection on it and put it on the drain hole.

 

I did that on the truck tanks, but more for airing up the truck when cold with my shop compressor. I found you get more air out of the service line( with tarp strap holding Johnny Bar down) than the tanks.

 

Yeah

I can't imagine the trailer working out very good as compared to the gladhand.

 

Ok, I’m just old school, personally for things like this, I don’t want to wonder if the battery is charged

 

Has anyone gone to pickup a trailer and see a tire or 2 needing air?

Using on board air would be enough to get you a few miles down the road but probably not enough oomph to fill.

 

Yes indeed. You gave me the idea for the glad hand adaptor. Much appreciated Oldskool

 

Ummmm buy a gladhand, a 50' air hose and an air chuck. You have a $40,000 air compressor under the hood or cab of your truck.

 

You are soooo wrong. It DOES have the volume. He doesn't have the 2 months that it would take to reach 100PSI.

 

Get a flexible gladhand hose...the orage or flexzilla brand type

No need to rely on a battrery when your truck will get it done.

Key is to get a chuck that holds on to the stem when you let go

 

Does the hose reach that far back?

It works for my shorter trailer but I had to angle truck to trailer to get the 48 foot tanker. And 48 flatbed.
