They are designed for quick lubrication of heavy-duty truck fifth wheels. The lubrication is mess-free. The weight of the trailer crushes the pads upon coupling (the pads, which are placed on the plate), thereby spreading the lubricant evenly. They also replace the traditional, messy grease guns with a biodegradable, long-lasting and clean as well as non-toxic alternative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Significant information\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Application:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> You ought to place the pads on the fifth wheel.
