TMC 2024 SESSION

Jost Loc-Light operation and benefits

October 22, 2024

Start: 10:30 am

End: 11:20 am

Coupling and uncoupling trailers is a key task faced by truck drivers. An incorrectly coupled trailer can cause significant asset and reputational damage and endanger lives.

JOST Australia has produced a system with sensors, a light and an alarm that shows the status of a fifth wheel coupling making inspection easier, faster and safer.

This session, presented by JOST Australia, will cover—

  • Coupling and uncoupling trailers correctly and safely
  • An overview of fifth wheel components, operating principles and testing using the JOST king pin tool.
  • The applications of the JOST Loc-Light system and its benefits
  • Loc-Light operation and fifth wheel coupling fault indication.
