Fontaine fifth wheel reaches new heights
Fifth wheel specialist Fontaine has recently launched its new 3000FFH Dual Height Standard Duty unit, which it says allows both mega-trailers and conventional trailers to be towed using just one truck with a fast and simple height adjustment.
“Simple to install on most truck types (except construction), our Dual Height mounting option utilises the 3000 cast fifth wheel and has an exclusive D-value of 130kN and an imposed kingpin load of 18 tons,” said the company.
Cited benefits include low height at 167mm with three options of high height: 267, 317 or 367mm; a mechanism release available in manual or air operated; and certification to ECE R 55-01.
