Abstract: A fifth wheel lubricating system for greasing the interface between the upper and lower fifth wheel plates while the trailer is couple to the tractor. The system supplies grease form a cartridge that is coupled to a solenoid activated grease valve and controlled by means of an electrical controller mounted in the cab or on the catwalk of the fifth wheel tractor. The grease gun is operated pneumatically from an onboard air compressor or can be manually operated by means of a hand pump lever built into the grease gun. A primary grease hose carries grease from the grease valve to a grease distribution hub, where it is distributed to two or more distribution hoses that connect to the bottom side of the tractor mounted lower fifth wheel plate. The grease is forced up through holes in the lower fifth wheel plate, into grease slots on the top side of the lower plate.
