Part Number: 21931156
Description:
This listing is for a used genuine Jost JSK36D fifth wheel coupling complete with steel mounting plate and manual release handle. The JSK36D is a pressed-steel 2 inch fifth wheel rated at D = 152 kN with an imposed load of 20 tonnes and is widely used on modern European tractor units, particularly Mercedes-Benz Actros, Arocs and Antos models. According to Jost technical data, the JSK36D uses a pivot bearing design with typical mounting heights around 205–225 mm and a coupling weight of approximately 117–126 kg, making it a robust yet relatively light fifth wheel for long-haul and construction applications.
The identification plate visible on the unit confirms model JSK36D with type number 00-0301 and class J, load D152, U20. Web catalogues and marketplace listings reference this complete fifth wheel and mounting plate under Mercedes-Benz OEM numbers A0013152592 and A9603170021, commonly fitted to Euro 5 and Euro 6 Actros/Arocs/Antos 4x2 and 6x2/6x4 tractors. It is suitable for standard 2 inch king pin semi-trailers and uses the proven Jost jaw-and-wear-ring locking mechanism. The unit has a greased top plate, integrated release and safety locking handle and a multi-hole mounting base plate for chassis installation.
The part was removed from a working truck in our yard and was function-tested on the vehicle before dismantling: the jaw locked securely around the king pin and released correctly using the handle. There are no visible cracks or weld repairs on the fifth wheel casting or the base plate. The surface shows heavy grease, road dirt and cosmetic corrosion typical for a used coupling; we strongly recommend full cleaning, inspection and re-greasing of the mechanism and replacement of wear items such as bushes and wear ring using a JSK36D repair kit prior to installation. This is a used component and should only be fitted by a competent workshop following Jost and vehicle manufacturer instructions, including correct torque settings for mounting bolts and any required periodic inspections.
Compatibility should match most Mercedes-Benz Actros MP3/MP4, Arocs and Antos tractor chassis specified with Jost JSK36D 225 mm mounting height fifth wheels and OEM codes A0013152592 or A9603170021. It may also retrofit to other heavy tractor units using the same Jost JSK36D plate mounting system; please check your existing fifth wheel model, mounting height and bolt pattern against the photos and part numbers before ordering. If in doubt, confirm with your Mercedes-Benz dealer or Jost distributor using your VIN and the JSK36D type.
As pictured, the sale includes the complete Jost JSK36D top plate assembly with integrated mounting plate and manual release handle only; fixing bolts, air or sensor equipment and any additional chassis brackets are not included. The unit will be palletised and strapped for safe shipment.
