Benefits of car conversion at Fifthwheel
Load Capacity
Are you looking for more load capacity? And a regular trailer doesn’t have enough load capacity? Then choose a Fifthwheel trailer. The Fifthwheel is high-end designed by specialists with an eye for technology and innovation. It is the perfect transport solution when you are looking for a specialized trailer for more load capacity in the category up to 7 tons combination weight, you are looking for a very lightweight trailer, and you want to drive safely with more stability and electric brakes. One advantage of a trailer puller is that with a trailer behind it, you can achieve more load capacity compared to a regular trailer that attaches to the tow bar.
Pay attention to the achievable trailer weights. In practice we calculate with the customer what trailer weight is possible with their combination. The most important thing is that the axle loads of the trailer puller and the Fifthwheel semi-trailer are the basis for the BE driver’s license.
Special Ball Coupling
If you choose a car conversion with a Fifthwheel coupling, you will benefit from the convenience of a specially designed ball coupling. This coupling was conceived by our engineer from concept to execution. An innovative solution that provides many more possibilities in transport. We are the only supplier of such a ball coupling in the world. The special ball coupling prevents torsion in the chassis of your car. This is more sustainable for your trailer puller. And with the Fifthwheel conversion, you also retain a flat loading floor because the ball cup is flush with your loading floor. Because the ball coupling’s cup in the support frame is located below the loading area floor. The ball cup can be used through a hole in the loading floor. This is clearly visible in our photos.
The support frame used varies by car brand and model. We are happy to advise on the best options for your cars.
Additional Advantage in Combination with an Aluminum Trailer
If you opt for an all-aluminum trailer, it is lighter, allowing you to achieve even more net load capacity, and the trailer is very durable from a material reuse perspective.
Support Frame Weight
Auto conversion with Fifthwheel has been done professionally for over 15 years. As mentioned earlier, you don’t have to worry about professionalism, safety, and quality. The auto conversion is carried out by our mechanics using a support frame. This frame is attached under the loading area to the chassis. Thanks to the specially developed support frames, you hardly lose any load capacity in the car’s cargo area because they weigh only about 25 kg.
Electric Brake System
For the car conversion, a 13-pin plug is required to connect the electric brake system of the Fifthwheel. A contact-switched + is also required. Ask your car dealer to install these components for you if they are not already present. The car dealer can liaise with our mechanics to ensure the connection is made correctly.
