Notice how the lock is activated by the kingpin
hitting the safety trigger. The safety trigger
eliminates the possibility of false trailer
couplings to prevent dangerous high-hitching.
When the lock is "triggered" the jaw slides behind
the kingpin followed by the wedge which takes
out the slack. Patented No-Slack II jaw &
wedge locking system eliminates slack automatically
to save time, cut labor costs and reduce wear.
The pull force required to open the No-Slack II
lock is less than any other standard fifth wheel
on the market.
For added safety the positive secondary lock can
be released by pulling the handle.
Increased surface contact with the trailer plate
gives you more stability and durability.
No-Slack II is the lightest standard fifth wheel
in the industry (218 lbs) to give you larger
payloads for greater freight revenue
The No-Slack II is simple to maintain and can be rebuilt
quickly without special tools.
