FIFTH-WHEEL REPAIRS
Fontaine Parts Connection’s new Major Rebuild Kit for popular Fontaine fifth-wheel models combines six kits into one to streamline the repair process, promising to save fleet operators money.
The kit alleviates the frustration felt when technicians start to work on a project and have to make several trips to the parts counter to retrieve necessary components. In this case Fontaine combined the contents of six smaller kits to create the new Major Rebuild Kit. It has everything required to work on Fontaine fifth wheels, the company says.
The kit (P/N KIT-RX-67NTL) includes parts required to service all left-hand 6000, 7000, 7000 Clean Connect and Ultra NT top plates. It supports Fontaine’s No-Slack II lock technology, which has been installed in the majority of Fontaine fifth wheels for the past 15 years.
Only genuine Fontaine parts are used in the Major Rebuild Kit. The box includes easy-to-follow disassembly and reassembly instructions and the contents are packaged in the sequence they’re needed. There’s also QR code printed in the kit that links to an instructional video about the rebuild procedure.
