JOST fifth wheels offer a simple and safe design with only four moving parts. The positive coupling design ensures a true connection, providing Kenworth drivers with the assurance of a safe coupling.
JOST’s simple mechanism allows infinite adjustments versus notched adjustments. Wear adjustment is easily maintained with a single adjustment screw. The ability to perform maintenance and minor rebuilds on the JOST fifth wheel – without removing it from the chassis – assures owners of Kenworth trucks the lowest possible cost of ownership with JOST now positioned as the standard offering for the Kenworth T680.
The JOST fifth wheel has an easy-to-use pull handle, making operation easier for drivers. JOST offers a five-year warranty on all of its durable cast ductile iron topplates.
“We continue to add excellent products as standard equipment that further enhance the performance of the Kenworth T680. The JOST fifth wheel provides safety, durability, ease of maintenance, low cost of ownership, and weight savings that benefit our customers,” said Kurt Swihart, Kenworth marketing director.
