Liner For Truck Fifth Wheel

March 14th, 2014 Comments off
Millions of pounds of grease are washed off 5th wheels in this country every year. This not only has a huge impact on the environment causing water pollution but is also extremely costly to haulage and logistic businesses.
During application a significant amount of grease is either dropped in the workshop or falls off onto the tractor unit making the tractor unit dirty, unsightly and uncomfortable to work in.
Greasy residue on surfaces and on the ground can prove hazardous during hitching and can cause individuals to slip on the ground and on the back of tractor units. This has considerable implications from a health and safety view point in and in particular from an employer’s liability perspective.
On average 30% of 5th wheel grease is wasted.
An automatic lubricating Fifth Wheel Liner removes the need to regularly lubricate the plate, a dirty job for any operative this liner will save on maintenance time, reduce expenditure on oils / greases,  improve on tractor trailer coupling, handling and could also reduce tyre wear and fuel consumption.
Made of a high-density plastic material, this provides significant levels of resistance and durability.
