Even though the pull-force required to disengage the No-Slack® lock is the lowest in the industry, there is one lock that is easier ... The Fontaine Air Actuated No-Slack
The driver simply...
- Applies the trailer parking brake...
- Backs into the trailer...
- Applies the tractor parking brake...
- Flips the dash mounted switch to open the lock (the fifth wheel will not open unless the parking brake is engaged)
- No grease on the driver’s hands or clothes – one less injury opportunity for your company
The ultimate fifth wheel air cylinder
- Improved resin-matrix design uses a proprietary composite material that is herently self-lubricating for smoother operation and extended product life
- Reduced friction on the wear surface improves the sealing performance, extends the seal life and virtually eliminates piston sticking
- High resistance to corrosion– even in hostile environments!
