SkidGreen – Technology
A low-friction, grease-Independent connection surface at the heart of SkidGreen Élite.
The slick plate: a low-friction, grease-independent connection surface.
At the centre of SkidGreen Élite is a durable polymer plate custom-fitted between the fifth wheel and the trailer's upper coupler. It replaces the grease film traditional systems rely on with a consistent, low-friction surface that doesn't wear thin or need reapplication.
- Cuts metal-to-metal contact at the coupling point
- Holds a stable coefficient of friction across duty cycles
- No grease film to break down or wash out
Engineered for tanker-duty coupling frequency.
Built and tested for the loads and coupling frequency typical of demanding tanker and heavy fleet applications.
Durable Polymer Layer
A single, purpose-built surface replaces the need for a grease film.
Custom-Fitted
Sized and shaped to each specific fifth wheel for a consistent connection.
Load-Rated
Designed to hold up under repeated coupling under tanker-level loads.
