Product Details
Fifth wheel steering refers to a steering mechanism where the front wheels and axle assembly pivot on a central point known as the fifth wheel, allowing for easier maneuverability under heavy load conditions due to reduced friction compared to swivel casters. This design is particularly effective when using softer, wider pneumatic wheels on rough or uneven surfaces. The wagon trucks equipped with fifth wheel steering can be either pulled or pushed and feature a T-handle with vinyl handgrips for two-man operation. The truck includes a heavy 12 gauge reinforced steel deck with a 6-inch retaining lip and full 1-inch diameter axles paired with roller bearing wheels for smooth movement. The structural channel undercarriage enhances load capacity and durability, while the 6-inch lips on the steel deck provide additional carrying capacity.
