scope:
This document specifies the requirements for 50 mm, 75 mm and 90 mm kingpins for use in articulated vehicles, B-doubles and road trains in normal use on both sealed and unsealed roads. It also includes requirements for mechanical properties, dimensional standards for interchangeability, and dynamic testing.
NOTE 1 The determination of dynamic strength using finite element analysis is given in Appendix B.
NOTE 2 Recommendations and requirements for fifth wheel assemblies on prime movers are given in AS/NZS 4968.2.
NOTE 3 Guidelines for the attachment of kingpin to skid plate are given in Appendix C.
NOTE 4 The method of calculation of D-values is given in AS/NZS 4968.1.
