Truck and Bus Coupling and Interchangeability Committee
The Scope of the Truck and Bus Coupling and Interchangeability Committee is to establish minimum performance requirements and standard test procedures for fifth wheels. Any model of fifth wheel tested to this standard should properly couple and uncouple to a commercial SAE J700 (2 inch) kingpin. The performance requirements are to be based on actual fifth wheel loadings, sound engineering judgment and wherever possible, in harmony with existing standards and/or practices.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A redline comparison of the current version against a revision is accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
