correct rating of the equipment and the relevant fitting
instructions.
In the case of Dolly and 12mm flat mounting plates the fifth wheel

attached to the chassis or ball turntable using the standard

special crossmembers may be required. Before fitting any fifth
wheel to this type of chassis please consult the Fontaine
Technical Department.
