In less than two months Australia and New Zealand are set to see the arrival and launch of the Hyva JK51-C9 50mm automatic trailer drawbar coupling.
This will be a breath of fresh air to the industry as the first coupling in a long time to be designed for Australian and New Zealand conditions and upgraded performance in mind. Having an exceptional D-Value of 330kn gives the new Hyva coupling the highest rating available in Australia and New Zealand.
The coupling is set to hit the market in March this year.
Discussing the new couplings Darren Stocks, Hyva Pacific’s National Manager for tipping solutions and truck and trailer components, said the Hyva couplings have been undergoing real-world trials in Australia on various combinations including truck & dogs, A-doubles, AB-triples and standard road train combinations with outstanding performance and wear results.
With a standard bolt pattern and a host of innovative ideas the New Hyva JK51-C9 couplings will give performance and driver acceptance a new benchmark.
Two built-in safety security devices and a third external security device for ultimate protection from unplanned disconnection. Other design elements include:
A compact auto balanced centering funnel system;
rotating coupling pin to reduce wear, compared to non-rotating pin this extends the service life by 50-70 per cent;
frontal crash damage prevention with a full cast top box with reinforced rhino horn front section for added strength;
funnel locking system so opening of the coupling is always possible in all angles;
geared handle for ease of opening which is a first for any trailer coupling and will greatly assist drivers in the uncoupling/coupling process; and
fully sealed modular cast top box for greater protection and life offering easy replacement or upgrade.
Last year’s IAA Transportation in Hanover, Germany, witnessed the global launch of the new Hyva coupling. The product was received with great interest and support from the international truck and trailer industry at the show and the Hyva Pacific team is looking forward to releasing its coupling here in Australia and New Zealand.
