  • Safety Enhanced Turntable or Fifth Wheel for Coupling a Semi-Trailer to a Prime Mover
    Publication number: 20150343865
    Abstract: A method for assisting in the coupling of a semi-trailer to a turntable of a prime mover includes remotely monitoring sensors about the turntable to make a number of determinations. These include that the semitrailer is suitably close to the turntable for correct coupling. That a locking member, e.g. a kingpin, of the semitrailer is correctly positioned relative to the turntable for proper coupling. That a kingpin locking mechanism of the turntable is in a locked configuration. The result of the determinations is indicated to an operator of the prime mover.
