It’s human nature to choose the easy way. When it comes to trailer coupling maintenance, the easy way happens to be the right way. We have listed 5 advantages that benefit your workday no matter if you’re a fleet manager or driver.

Regardless of the application for which a coupling is used – a variety of requirements must be fulfilled to ensure efficient and reliable operation of the coupling system. Undoubtedly, the coupling is a vital component of the entire propulsion line. Therefore, when designing a coupling, attention must be paid that the coupling is able to withstand the mechanical requirements, requires virtually no maintenance, operates trouble-free and, ideally, has a long service life.

A coupling is an element of a drive line that primarily serves the purpose of transmitting power from one shaft to another, thereby providing for the connection of the driving and driven machine. At the same time, shaft misalignments, e.g. caused by assembly inaccuracies, should be compensated by the coupling while generating minimum reaction forces.

Servicing and maintenance must, of course, be considered a necessary cost. But another thing that affects uptime – and therefore the overall economy of your business – is your proximity to servicing facilities and service quality.

Let’s look ahead. The near future will bring an array of new, exciting development opportunities – plus an equal number of challenges
