Direct Dimension Inc's new PlateMate kingpin plate has a scientifically engineered self-lube surface that not only eliminates grease, but also outperforms it. PlateMate works continuously to improve maneuvering ability, especially during tight turns, backing-up and coupling operations, while reducing the stress and strain of steel grinding on steel between the tractor fifthwheel and trailer upper coupler plate. Even in bad weather conditions, drive-tire skids and bump-steering are nearly eliminated. Over/under-steer is also significantly reduced.

Plate Mate lowers operating costs by eliminating fifthwheel greasing operations, reducing upper-coupler wear, as well as lessening cab and chassis stress and fatigue. Its close tolerance design accepts standard SAE kingpins, and its weld-mount construction provides secure and reliable operation. The company guarantees this product for two years.
