Fontaine Fifth Wheel Application


The Fontaine
Blocked Heavy-Duty Fifth Wheel

When versatility and strength are your demands, Fontaine's Blocked Heavy-Duty 5092 Series Fifth Wheel is your answer. It's like two fifth wheels for the price of one. Its unique design gives you the flexibility to use it not only in standard heavy-duty applications, but as a non-rocking fifth wheel ideally suited for Frameless Dumps.

Offered in a variety of mounting heights, the Blocked Fifth Wheel incorporates a low-alloy, formed steel heavy-duty 5092 top plate engineered for uniform lubrication. The heavy-duty steel substructure provides low weight, reinforced strategic load bearing areas and high structural integrity. This design handles vertical-load forces of 55,000 pounds.

Our patented NO-SLACK® locking system automatically eliminates any fifth wheel play and safely handles drawbar forces up to 150,000 pounds. The one-piece cast saddle bearings are built with large grease grooves to ensure uniform flow coverage.

The Blocked Fifth Wheel is as safe as it is strong. The handle is loop shaped and easy to grip. The secondary safety lock is integral. And the bumper is designed to prevent false couplings.

Get all the versatility you'll ever need with the strength and safety you demand. Get Fontaine's Blocked Heavy-Duty Fifth Wheel.
