HOW TO IDENTIFY & COMPLETE THE MOST COMMON FIFTH WHEEL REPAIR Fifth Wheel

 

WÉI FËNNSTE RAD PART BRUEF MÉI GEMENG FIXEREN?

De fënneften Rad Deel deen meeschtens Reparatur erfuerdert ass d'Topplack. The top plate is a horseshoe-shaped plate that’s attached to the main frame of the vehicle. It offers trailers and cargo a secure connecting point for heavy loads. 

Why is the top plate the most common fifth wheel repair? It’s under intense stress while in use. This high stress can damage the plate and normal wear can break down internal, smaller components like gespaarten Këssen a Këssen Ring Inserts, bushings, release handles, and more to the point of replacement. You may also struggle with fifth wheel top plate troubles if your coupling attempts aren’t in compliance with JOST’s Operating Instructions or the industry standard TMC RMP-654.

All dës Méiglechkeeten weisen firwat d'Standarden verfollegen a proaktiv sinn iwwer Inspektiounen an Ënnerhalt Schlëssel ass.

TROUBLESHOOTING: WEI INSPISÉIERT & REPARATIOUN ENG FËNNERT RAD TOP PLATE

Sollt Dir e Problem mat Ärem fënneften Rad Top Plack hunn, hei sinn d'Schrëtt déi Dir maache kënnt fir de Problem ze diagnostizéieren an ze fixéieren.

1. REVIEW THE TOP PLATE’S SURFACE

Pull the release handle out and hang it on the release notch; it must be flat and straight. Then ensure the adjusting screw shows ⅜” to 1 ½” of threads. If it shows less or more than that, there is an issue. 

If no issue is found, scrape any excess grease from the top plate surface’s recessed center. Check the cushion ring insert for any chipping or damage, and make sure the locking bar tip protrudes further into the throat than the coupling guide lugs.

2. Iwwerpréift DEN LEVER MAT DER BUSHING UNDER DER UEWEN PLATE

You can also inspect your top plate and diagnose any issues by looking underneath it. First, verify that the lever with the bushing is in appropriate condition and position. Then check the pivot bolts to ensure there’s one washer between the lever and castellated nut on each of them. Finally, check the release handle attachments to ensure proper attachment.

3. BENOTZEN A LOCK TESTER BIS FUNCTION

Eng drëtt a lescht Inspektioun ass e Sperrtester ze benotzen fir d'Operatioun ze kontrolléieren. Fänkt un mam Sperrtestinstrument ze engagéieren fir dat fënneft Rad ze spären, dann z'iwwerpréiwen datt de Fräiloossungshandtak an der gespaarter Positioun ass (Dokument Link). 

Notéiert och de Sperrkierper a Sperrbar Positionéierung. De Sperrkuerf muss de Kingpin akzeptéieren a komplett rotéieren. D'Sperrbar muss ganz den Hals iwwerschreiden. Wann eng vun dësen Positiounen falsch ass, ersetzt de beschiedegte Sperrkierper, Hiewel oder Release Handle. 

Once you’ve determined what is worn or damaged, you can either fix or replace it.
