A kompensator is a patented specialty fifth wheel mounting system designed for use with torsionally rigid trailers such as tankers, drybulk, bottom dumps, grain, and B trains. This fifth wheel is designed to provide both front-to-rear and controlled side-to-side oscillation between the tractor and semi-trailer.
The Kompensator® fifth wheel relieves the twisting force between the tractor and trailer. It is intended for applications where the center of gravity of the loaded semi-trailer does not exceed 1 meter above the top surface of the fifth wheel.
Benefits of a HOLLAND Kompensator Mount include improved tire life and a reduction in tractor, trailer, and tank cracks.
