How Does Sidewinder Locking Wedge Affect Hitching Trailer?

Question:

how does the locking wedge behind the king pin affect lining up the truck with the wedge for hooking up the 5th wheel trailer?

asked by: Robert M

Expert Reply:

The wedge will not affect your hitching procedure at all. The only thing that will change is that the trailer / hitch connection will swivel at the pin box instead of at the hitch. The wedge prevents the Sidewinder arm from pivoting at the point where the king pin locks into the hitch.
