Warren Elevating 5
th
Wheel
22
Using one angle per side will increase the down height of the 5
th
wheel by the thickness of the
steel angle. Use one angle per side when the lowest down height is not critical.
When To Use Two Angles Per Side (Fig. 2)
Using two angles per side will provide the lowest 5
th
wheel down height because it permits the 5
th
wheel frame to fit directly against the tractor frame.
How to Install Steel Angles
Whether you are installing one angle per side or two angles per side, cut the angles the proper
length.
The angles should be long enough to extend from about 3 inches ahead of the 5
th
wheel frame, to
the rear of the tractor frame.
