Fontaine expands fifth wheel range
Fifth wheel specialist Fontaine has introduced a new 260SF Ultra Heavy Duty Sliding Fifth Wheel, adapted for heavier payloads.
“This mounting option can be combined with our 230HD 2ˮ or 260HD 3.5ˮ Ultra Heavy Duty Fifth Wheels and is homologated to ECE R55-03,” said the company.
The unit has a length of from 1,300-3,000mm, width to suit all OEM chassis ranging from 728mm to 852mm, and an 82mm high slider base.
The fifth wheel has been tested to 36t imposed load (U) and offers a D-value of 260 kN. It is suitable for 100t-150t gross combination weight applications (D-value permitting). The release mechanism is available in manual and air-operated variants.
