Connect-to-Protect: Trailer Wire Harness Total Protection Systems
By Alan McNaul and Victor Cunha, Directors, Hanington Innovations Limited
The Connect-to-Protect is completely unique, patent pending, is the only complete solution to trailer wire harness protection, and fills a vital gap in the trailer wire harness sector.

As a result, it is subject to damage from trailer movement, corrosion and fouling from external elements such as dirt and moisture.
