Phillips Industries releases I-Box to aftermarket
Phillips Industries, a supplier and manufacturer of electrical and air brake interface equipment for the commercial vehicle industry, has released to the aftermarket its I-Box, which the company said is designed to handle the expanding electronic requirements of today’s trailers.

With the new box, mechanics have plenty of room for additional wires and repairs and they no longer have to use “shoulder leverage” to close an overloaded nosebox.
