Kingpin

1) The pin fitted to articulated semi-trailers to connect with the fifth-wheel coupling on tractive unit. The point from which certain measurements are taken (eg for determining whether sideguards are required - see sideguards).

Some semi-trailers have twin kingpin positions to allow variation of imposed loads on rear axle of tractive unit, to adjust overall length of combination and to match fifth-wheel position on short or long wheelbase tractive units.
