SAMPA’s advanced fifth wheel ensures the strongest connection between the truck and the trailer while out on the road, ensuring a smooth ride.
It guarantees safe and balanced handling, with perfect weight distribution and flexible articulation, making it indispensable for long-distance transport, to all corners of the country.
The SAMPA fifth wheel boasts a heavy-duty build, with an extra-strong casting body and wear-resistant materials for long-term durability. For corrosion protection, a special coating prevents rust, thus extending service life.
Improved lubrication grooves ensure enhanced lubricant distribution and long-lasting retention.
Other features of the SAMPA fifth wheel include an adjustable locking mechanism that adapts to dimensional changes, improving safety and compatibility; and a reinforced steel locking collar to increase impact resistance and reduce wear.
Rigorously tested and type-approved, SAMPA fifth wheels offer industry-leading quality assurance – guaranteed.

Over time, continuous coupling and uncoupling, heavy loads, and road conditions cause wear and tear in the fifth wheel coupling system.
This can lead to loose connections, uneven load distribution, and premature component failure. Instead of replacing an entire fifth wheel assembly, SAMPA’s fifth wheel repair kits provide a cost-effective, efficient solution to restore maximum performance and extend component life.
What’s included in SAMPA’s fifth wheel repair kits
For enhanced stability and reduced wear, the kits feature superior upper and lower mounting pads. The bushings and pins minimise friction and extend the life of moving parts.
Robust bearing strength is designed to withstand heavy loads effortlessly. Its reinforced rubber components are manufactured from a unique blend for optimal resilience and durability.
The king pin locking jaws are precision-engineered for a tight, secure fit to prevent accidental disengagement.
Retaining clips and springs maintain proper tension within the locking system for consistent performance. While grease and lubrication components are designed to reduce metal-to-metal friction, preventing premature wear and ensuring smooth operation.
Rust-free assembly hardware includes high-quality washers, lock nuts, and bolts for secure, long-lasting connections.
SAMPA’s comprehensive repair kits include all necessary components to renew the locking mechanism and pivot points, ensuring smooth and secure trailer coupling.
With a SAMPA repair kit, truck owners can prolong the lifespan of their fifth wheel coupling, enhance safety, and save on replacement costs – meaning your heavy-duty can spend more time on the road, and less time in the maintenance bay.
