DAYTON-WALTHER, which claims to have 41 per cent of the fifth wheel market, is to introduce a bolted and bonded polyethylene/PTFE liner which means the top plate never has to be greased.
Dry-five kits can be supplied to operators of existing equipment complete with the adhesive pack and full fitting instructions.
The liner takes about 45 minutes to install and provides a dry clean surface with a low coefficient of friction.
Operators serving the food industry have already shown a keen interest in the conversion because of its clean aspect and reduced greasing costs.
The fifth wheel locking mechanism must still be lubricated or kingpin wear will be accelerated.
