The LGM Company was birthed out of a painful tanker rollover accident caused by a failure of the upper coupler. The accident happened only one month after the tank trailer’s annual inspection. As the driver was turning a corner, the upper coupler failed and the tanker rolled. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but the accident was costly. It involved an EPA clean-up and the trailer was totaled. Our owner was determined to solve the corrosion and safety issues that plague Upper Couplers. If you drive trucks, if you own or manage a trucking fleet, or are responsible for truck and trailer fleet maintenance, you know the importance of having a safe, secure connection for your drivers and the trailers they pull. To solve this problem, the LGM EasyCheck Encapsulated Upper Coupler was created and has been tested over a five plus year period. Now - there is a better way! The EasyCheck Upper Coupler, with its easy ‘inspect-ability’ and its rugged design, creates peace of mind for everyone; trailer owner, truck and trailer maintenance, inspector, insurance companies, the driver and very importantly, you!
