Safety Couplings & Sensor Couplings
Increase reliable operations with safety couplings
Safety couplings, also known as sensor couplings, are essential for secure and efficient transport operations. Combining robust mechanical performance with real-time feedback, they help prevent disconnections and enable proactive issue management. Designed to meet the demands of modern fleets, JOST NZ’s safety couplings deliver a reliable solution for enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
Their primary advantage lies in ensuring secure connections while providing continuous monitoring. This functionality reduces risks, enhances reliability, and supports the efficient operation of modern transport systems.
RO500 with Drawbar Finder
Simplifies alignment during coupling, reducing manual effort and improving accuracy.
The in-cab status indicator monitors the locking position of the coupling and sensor connections, displaying the information on an electronic screen within the cab. Additionally, the jack-knife warning sensor safeguards the vehicle, drawbar, and rear-mounted equipment, such as tail lift cylinders, by detecting unsafe jackknife angles, keeping your fleet operational and secure.
Key features:
- Pneumatic coupling release for effortless operation.
- Locking function sensor for secure connections.
- Jack-knife warning sensor to prevent potential accidents.
Fifth Wheel Sensors
The fifth wheel sensor coupling enhances safety by providing precise feedback on the locking status of the coupling system. Equipped with multiple sensors, it monitors the skid plate, kingpin locking jaw, and safety latch, ensuring secure connections. This information is displayed on an integrated dash display, offering real-time updates directly to the driver.
Key features:
- 3-point sensor system for comprehensive monitoring.
- Integrated dash display for real-time updates.
- Extended handle for easy operation.
- Road-train rated to 152kN for durability.
- Optional LubeTronic technology for automatic lubrication.
