PITTSBURGH, Jan. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- "I'm a professional truck driver, and I wanted to create a prevention system to keep the trailer air brakes from being released until there is 100-percent confirmation of coupling between the fifth-wheel and king pin," said an inventor, from Seminole, Texas, "so I invented the FIFTH WHEEL FLUID LOCK SAFETY SYSTEM AND METHOD. My design eliminates guesswork, and it would avoid serious safety hazards."
The invention provides a simple visual indicator to ensure proper tractor-trailer connection at the fifth-wheel. In doing so, it would keep the trailer brakes locked until the fifth-wheel connection is locked to prevent the heavy trailer from moving. As a result, it increases safety and peace of mind. The invention features an automatic design that is easy to employ so it is ideal for fifth-wheel manufacturers, trucking companies and professional truck drivers.
The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
