Purkeys’ fifth wheel light

Nov 14, 2016

purkeys-5th-wheel-light Purkeys’ 5th Wheel Light is designed to illuminate the kingpin lockjaw position to help reduce dropped trailers and help drivers verify a proper connection between the truck and the trailer. The trailer-hitch coupling light helps eliminate shadows on the locking mechanisms and remove the need for a flashlight. The device is engineered to work automatically in daylight and at night.
