Why would you move a fifth wheel when towing a semitrailer? Fifth Wheel

You’ve hooked up your trailer and you’ve headed to a weighbridge and the bad news is that your front (steering) axle is overloaded. An overloaded axle is both illegal and dangerous. It can overheat your tyres, make your braking performance much worse, affect your steering and even cause a jackknife if it’s bad enough.

Whoever loaded the trailer has put too much weight at the front, but you don’t have any ability to change that, so what can you do?

Why would you move a fifth wheel when towing a semitrailer? Fifth Wheel

It’s common for drivers to move the fifth wheel, not only for weight distribution, but also to get the best aerodynamic performance from the vehicle. A smaller distance between the cab and the trailer makes for better fuel economy, but it’s not always possible to do this if the front of the trailer is heavy because too much weight will be over the steering axles.

Add to this the complication of full vs empty fuel tanks (diesel weighs around 8 pounds per gallon) and you’ll see it’s difficult to calculate an exact weight distribution.

When the fifth wheel is unlocked, it can slide on this notched rail. Each notch represents a certain percentage of weight distribution forwards and backwards – you’d need to check the manufacturer’s documentation to know just how much.

  3. د سویچ په کارولو سره پنځم څرخ خلاص کړئ
  4. د وزن توازن د ډرایو ویلونو باندې ډیر بدلولو لپاره پرائم موور مخ په وړاندې حرکت وکړئ، او برعکس
  5. د ټراکټور په واحد کې د پارکینګ بریک تطبیق کړئ

څه باید وګورئ

  • Before you try to move the trailer, check both slider plunger pins are out (there’s one either side)
  • Once you’ve moved the trailer, ensure that both slide plunger pins have moved back in. If they won’t go back in, move the tractor unit forwards or backwards slightly to take any pressure off the connection
  • وګورئ چې واحد په منظم ډول خدمت کیږي او کافي غوړ لري.
  • Do a tug test before you drive away – if the pins are unlocked, the first time you brake, the trailer will slide forward and break the coupling.
