• Combined fifth wheel sensors and clever kingpin connector allows remote risk-free coupling and auto landing leg operation • The in-cab unit means driver can easily see he's 'in the groove' when coupling up • Auto pin pulling and electric landing legs keep strains to a minimum
High-risk?
• To get the full advantage you need to spec both KKS tractor and trailer elements • It's only available on the fixed JSK-42 oast fifth wheel; there's no slider or pressed-unit option • If you only uncouple your trailer once a week it's probably not worth it

• Hassle-free hitching brings with it peace of mind for the boss
