JOST fifth wheel couplings fulfil the most stringent requirements in terms of safety, simple operation and ease of
servicing. This results in the following benefits:
Safety
High level of operating reliability
Can be used in complicated loading
conditions
Automatic latch arrangement
Only a visual inspection is required to
ensure proper engagement
Protection against unauthorised opening
is possible using a padlock
Ease of servicing
Infinite adjustment of the locking
mechanism, thus resulting in lower wear
Wearing ring is easy to replace
Easily replaceable top plate liners
Wearing parts can be replaced without
having to remove the fifth wheel
Simple operation
Long, easy-reach handle
The operator does not get dirty
The latch is released using a cable
JSK 42: Single hand operation without
latch and cable
Range of application
JOST fifth wheel couplings are approved for all trailer
coupling systems. The following diagram gives an overview
of the various models available with imposed loads from
6 t to 50 t.

Fifth wheel couplings need to be lubricated (manual lubrication). Model E, K and all models with Z style fifth
wheel couplings are prepared for connection to a central lubrication system on the tractor unit.
W series fifth wheel couplings (with top-plate liners) are low
maintenance, i.e. only the lock needs to be lubricated. For
details, see the installation and operating instructions.
Plate mounting

bearing, only one greasing point on the lock jaw needs local
lubrication. All wearing parts can be replaced quickly and easily. Low-maintenance fifth wheel couplings therefore
save both time and money, as well as conserving resources.

Definition D value
The construction of the fifth wheel coupling in connection
with the vehicle is carried out by the vehicle manufacturer
(construction according to Directive 94/20/EC, Appendix VII).
The imposed load on the tractor and the D value are
criterions for the load-bearing capacity of the fifth wheel
couplings and mounting plates.
The D value calculates according to the following formula:
D=gx
Key:
T =
R =
U =
g =
0,6 x T x R
(kN)
T+R-U
Calculation example:
D = 9,81 x
34
0,6 x 17 x 33
= 83,6 (kN)
17 + 33 - 10,5
Given:T = 17t
R = 33t
U = 10,5t
