Abstract

Provides the attachment design forces for fifth wheel assembly and equations to determine the required D-value of components for various combinations and applies to fifth wheel assemblies used with 50 mm, 75 mm and 90 mm kingpins and associated equipment, used in heavy road vehicles, B-doubles and road trains, in normal use on both sealed and unsealed roads.

Scope

This Standard sets out the attachment design forces for fifth wheel assembly and equations to determine the required D-value of components for various combinations. This Standard applies to fifth wheel assemblies used with 50 mm, 75 mm and 90 mm kingpins, and associated equipment for articulated vehicle combination, used in heavy road vehicles, B-doubles and road trains, in normal use on both sealed and unsealed roads.
