Product Overview Elmia Lastbil

JOST King Pin Finder: new assistance system – visibly great

As an innovation, JOST will be presenting the King Pin Finder in Jönköping, a camera integrated in the fifth wheel coupling that supports the coupling process by sending optimum images to the dashboard in the driver’s cabin. Securely integrated into the fifth wheel coupling, the JOST King Pin Finder provides assistance during coupling, thereby enhancing both safety and convenience. This latest assistance system allows the driver to find the ideal coupling height and to maneuver the truck perfectly, even when approaching at an angle. The King Pin Finder assists by displaying a live camera image in the driver’s cabin when driving backwards, making the coupling process considerably easier. On top of this, the system’s intuitive handling assists drivers when changing trailers – thereby preventing accidents and damage to the fifth wheel coupling and king pin, as well as the truck and trailer. The JOST solution specifically addresses the driver shortage not only by safety enhancement, but it also reduces the departure control time. At Elmia Lastbil the King Pin Finder is showcased on a JSK42 fifth wheel.

Intelligent Axle Systems with multiple talents

At the JOST Nordic stand, visitors will also get an overview of the unique DCA AIRMASTER axle where the axle beam also simultaneously functions as a compressed air reservoir for both the brake system and air suspension. The compressed air reservoir has a capacity of 40 liters per axle, enabling the DCA AIRMASTER to replace the usual compressed air chambers on a semitrailer. This results in weight savings of up to 50 kg, as well as freeing up the assembly space below the trailer, thus laying the cornerstone for the creation of entirely new vehicle concepts with innovative frame and assembly constructions. As for all DCA series axles, the DCA AIRMASTER can be used in all common vehicle types. This version is also available with a brake pad wear indicator.

JOST Modul E-Drive: the electric landing gear for increased comfort and safety

With the electric landing gear Modul E-Drive, JOST sets new standards in convenience, workplace safety and efficiency. With the Modul E-Drive manual cranking is now a thing of the past and coupling and decoupling of the trailer is even easier. Modul E-Drive is particularly useful when access to the landing gear is restricted and when the trailer needs to be coupled or decoupled frequently. The operation is super simple with a single push of a button. The motor shuts down automatically in the event of ground contact. Even though the operation works electronically, manual operation is still possible. Potential differences in height between the truck and the trailer can be compensated using the vehicle’s pneumatic suspension or manual cranking in the low gear. The landing gear is suitable for outside temperatures up to -20°C. The landing gear is based on the proven, highly reliable and robust Modul B series and is available in various mounting heights with an especially large lift. This program is complemented by a comprehensive range of cranks and connection shafts, and easily mountable and replaceable foot system.

The gear is on the inside and maintenance-free. Thanks to the long-term lubrication applied in the factory, re-lubrication is only necessary after three years, and due to the maintenance free design lifecycle costs are low.

JOST ProTech Slider: Less Weight, More Performance

The JOST ProTech Slider combines low weight, high robustness and maximum ease of use in one intelligent solution. Thanks to its optimized design, it is up to 25 kg lighter than comparable products, helping to increase payload without compromising durability.

Designed for both current and future truck platforms, the ProTech Slider is also compatible with frames featuring new oval-hole patterns. Its double wrap-around design and self-locking mechanism ensure exceptional safety and reliable operation, keeping the locking components securely in the correct position at all times.

With an optimized ratio of traversing length to overall length, integrated guide bars for precise king pin positioning and a user-friendly design, the ProTech Slider offers safe, efficient handling in daily operation. Optional features such as Sensoric, LubeTronic 1Point, pneumatic or mechanical actuation, and the Fleet Master handle provide additional convenience and functionality.

Built from the highest-quality materials, the ProTech Slider is engineered for maximum durability, reliability and long service life, even under demanding transport conditions.

Innovative Electric Power Take-Offs (ePTO)

The Hyva ePowerBox range is engineered to meet the growing demand for zero-emission solutions in commercial vehicles. The cutting-edge technology ensures minimal energy consumption and reduced noise levels, making it the ideal choice for the modern commercial vehicle industry. The ePowerBox is a revolutionary solution designed for electric commercial vehicles with hydraulic work equipment. It optimizes the conversion of electrical energy to hydraulic movements, ensuring efficient energy use and lower operational costs.

At RTX, Hyva will present the ePTO not only as a standalone component but as a complete ePTO Wet Kit Frame, demonstrating a fully integrated system solution for electric truck applications. This approach highlights Hyva’s capability to deliver ready-to-install, efficient and scalable hydraulic systems for the next generation of commercial vehicles.

RO RS CM75 Rear Tail System: holistic solution with proven and innovative components

The RO RS CM75 Rear Tail System is a new and holistic solution from ROCKINGER. The system consists of the cross member RO CM75N, the side plates SPUB and the rigid underrun bar RO RUB75 and is homologated according to ECE. With the RO RS CM75 ROCKINGER contributes even more to the safety of commercial vehicles.

ROCKINGER: proven towing hitch RO50E 

With the proven towing hitch RO50E, the traditional brand ROCKINGER presents a towing hitch that is characterized by its robust and low-maintenance design as well as its simple and safe handling. The RO50E features the ROCKINGER release lever principle, which enables smooth engagement even under difficult drawbar eye angles. The coupling only closes when the drawbar eye is fully retracted into the jaw. The proven ROCKINGER release lever principle prevents incorrect coupling due to a closing process that is triggered too early or jerky coupling, as is necessary with the standard pin lifting system. A new feature is that the RO50E is also available with a cast steel jaw for robust coupling.

JOST CSA and TRIDEC EF-S: Command Steer Axle with electronic steering system

Tight depots, narrow city streets and a 16.5-meter-long trailer that needs to be steered safely – all challenges that push conventional axle systems to their limits and demand a command steer axle. The JOST CSA is convincing in a wide range of applications and can be used with all common steering systems, whether mechanical, hydraulic or electronic. It also offers other outstanding performance features, such as the low steering roll radius. This has a positive effect on the actuation force, which is up to 70 per cent lower than that of comparable axles as a result. Additional batteries are rendered obsolete and there is greater flexibility when designing steering systems. The low space requirement of the CSA is unparalleled, enabling smaller mud guard designs and thus wholly new vehicle designs, even when space is tight.
