Warren's Crossmemberless (WXL) Series Bodies
Each Warren FW-30 and FW-45 hydraulic fifth wheel kit includes the most commonly used standard-length hydraulic hoses, fittings, and connectors. This comprehensive setup simplifies the installation process, allowing technicians to get the system up and running with minimal downtime. However, installers are required to supply certain items, including hydraulic oil, tie-down mounting angles, fasteners, paint, and other standard truck shop materials. These additional components ensure the hydraulic fifth wheel is securely mounted and ready for long-term use in demanding conditions.
The recommended PTO for the Warren FW-30 and FW-45 is a single-speed, dual-gear model with a 4-bolt SAE flange. For optimal performance, the PTO should operate at 80% to 100% of engine speed, ensuring consistent and efficient power delivery to the hydraulic system. Additionally, the truck chassis must be equipped with an air brake system for the hydraulic fifth wheel to function properly. This requirement underscores the importance of proper truck setup and preparation before installation.
The Warren FW-30 and FW-45 hydraulic fifth wheels provide a reliable solution for heavy-duty transportation needs. Their advanced design and high-quality components make them a dependable choice for businesses seeking enhanced operational efficiency. Trust Warren for top-tier equipment tailored to your specific hauling requirements.
