Jost: Landing gear Modul - Fifth wheel couplings

The Modul series of telescopic landing gear is extremely versatile. Thanks to its modular construction with variable mounting and operating heights, various crank handles and connection shaft lengths, plus five different foot types, all client requirements can be catered for.

The Modul C range consists of various landing gear which are designed for special applications.

Both ranges offer practical product advantages: the integrated gearbox has optimum protection, and requires minimum force to be applied on the crank handle in both directions. At the same time, Modul offers a huge increase in lift of up to 120 mm combined with smaller dimensions for fitting. It goes without saying that the telescopic landing gear is extremely sturdy and complies with the strict AAR standard.

The support is not a standalone, functional device. It is designed to be mounted on a trailer. The vehicle may not be operated until it has been ensured that the towed vehicle with the support complies with the applicable national road traffic regulations. In Germany, the relevant “TÜV” Safety Regulations and “StVZO” Motor Vehicle Safety Standards are to be observed. The telescopic landing gear is always to be used in conjunction with the instructions for use issued by the manufacturer of the relevant drawbar trailer.

 

Fifth wheel couplings and mounting plates

Fifth wheel couplings are fitted to a tractor unit to connect it to the trailer.

Fifth wheel couplings are vehicle attaching parts that are subject to mandatory design approval and on which the highest safety requirements are placed. We can supply a suitable fifth wheel coupling for all applications, thus always guaranteeing a safe and secure link between the tractor and trailer.

When mounting, using, converting or exchanging our fifth wheel couplings, the vehicle manufacturer’s notes, JOST instructions for mounting and use, and the relevant national regulations must be observed. In Germany these are §§19, 20, 21, 27 of the “StVZO” Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

The JSK 42 is available with a large selection of pedestals in all common heights and with all common hole patterns for plate and frame assembly. Depending on the model and height, it is possible to reduce the weight by 30 to 60 kg. This fifth-wheel coupling is also exceptionally easy to operate: the convenient handle enables you to release the lock and open the JSK 42 with one hand.
