The JOST KKS enables the driver to couple and decouple the semi-trailer via remote control without leaving the driver’s cab. The JSK 42 fifth wheel coupling, the Modul E-Drive landing gear, SKS, sensors, King Pin Finder and LubeTronic components form a complete system which saves time when coupling, as well as increases safety, efficiency and ergonomics.

The driver is guided through the fifth-wheel process process and with the help of the sensors and the King Pin Finder, he receives live information about the coupling status on the KKS remote control in the driver‘s cab at any time. Furthermore, the driver can operate the landing gear and fifth wheel coupling locking mechanism from the cab, significantly reducing the coupling duration and number of times needed to get in and out of the cab. It is of course possible to introduce the KKS step-by-step into to the fleets, as the operation in mixed fleets is possible.

The KKS is particularly suited for transport companies which often perform coupling processes and drive short distances, such as those in on-site operations, as the time advantages here are particularly beneficial from a financial standpoint.
