Heavy-road vehicles - Mechanical coupling between articulated vehicle combinations Design criteria and selection requirements for fifth wheel, kingpin and associated equipment
Standards Australia
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.
