Fontaine Fifth Wheel's SmartConnect is equipped with advanced sensors and an intelligent controller that continuously monitor the lock position during every coupling event. By collecting and analyzing this data, it can proactively identify potential maintenance needs before issues arise. Early detection and resolution help prevent minor problems from becoming costly repairs, while also extending the overall lifespan of the fifth wheel.
Locking of the fifth wheel to the kingpin is also verified by a green light, which will flash prior to turnign solid if an adjustment or repair is needed at the next service interval. It will turn red if not locked and a re-coupling is needed.
