KKS roadshow continues in Europe

Our next galaxy is called Europe! Join us on a journey through the universe of our automatic coupling system KKS. Once in the right orbit, you can look forward to exciting live demonstrations and experience first-hand how fifth wheel operations are brought up to the speed of light.

The KKS automatic coupling system from JOST enables automatic coupling by remote control – faster, safer and more efficient than ever before. The product innovation is a smart overall system that essentially consists of four components:

KKS 42 fifth wheel: the mother ship

KKS builds on tried and tested technology: At its core is the high-quality 2" cast KKS 42 fifth wheel coupling. Reliable and very versatile, along with the KKS Connector, it comprises the revolutionary sensor coupling system with Sensoric, LubeTronic and a pneumatic opening cylinder.

Snap-shut intelligence – the KKS Connectors

Fitted to the underside of the trailer, the stars of the show are JOST’s unique KKS Connectors KKS-U and KKS-I. Both connectors control all the mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic connections between the truck and trailer, eliminating the need for vulnerable air, electrics and ABS/EBS spiral lines. There are two different ways to install the connectors: With the galactically ingenuous KKS-U Connector, all of the cable and hose handling takes place under the trailer during cornering. Quick and easy installation is especially beneficial for existing trailers. Or choose the KKS-I Connector, where cable and hose handling takes place in the trailer floor.

Intelligence at your fingertips: the KKS remote control

The power to control! Thanks to the intuitive KKS remote control, drivers can manage the entire coupling and uncoupling process, and check up on the status of the fifth wheel and coupling assembly at a glance. As such, changing trailers becomes a simple matter of routine that can be learnt very quickly.

Beam me up! – the KKS Modul E-Drive

Hand cranking is a thing of the past thanks to the KKS’ E-Drive module – an electric auxiliary drive that deploys landing legs automatically and is controlled via the KKS remote control. Eliminating the need for hand cranking, it also offers huge space-saving benefits.
