Fontaine Fifth Wheel receives PACCAR 10 PPM Quality Achievement Award

For the fifth consecutive year, Fontaine Fifth Wheel received the PACCAR 10 PPM Quality Achievement Award. The award is presented to suppliers who ship the equivalent of less than 10 defective parts per million to PACCAR.

Fontaine supplies No-Slack fifth wheels to PACCAR. The No-Slack design automatically self-adjusts the lock to allow for trailer kingpin size variances, reducing shock inputs into the frame for a smoother ride, lower maintenance costs and longer component life, the company noted in a press release.
