Husky 10 Composite Slider for Silver Series Fifth Wheels

Husky is a company that strives to provide its customers with the most complete and innovative towing products available. They continue to invest in better and better designs and development for new products which are able to provide an increasingly convenient experience for their customers and the highest level of support. Aligning with their high standards and longstanding reputation, Husky wanted to create the perfect product to use with the Husky Silver Series fifth wheels. It is a product that has been presented as the best possible solution for towing needs of customers that happen to own short bed pickup trucks. The biggest advantages that short bed truck owners have is the shorter wheel base which gives them an excellent turning radius for better mobility in relatively tighter spaces and better overall maneuverability. This can be very helpful when you enter a town or if you are in the campground. The issue with the shorter wheel base is that the real axle is closer to the cab and that is where the innovative fifth wheel mounting system comes in to save the day. Usually, the trailer king pins are installed just ahead of the real axle. In a short bed pickup truck, the king pin is too close to the cab when you're going to be making tight turns into your parking spot when you're at the campgrounds. The Husky 10 Composite Slider temporarily positions the king pin 10 inches behind the cruising location so a truck and trailer at slow speed can easily be maneuvered without the worry of the trailer coming into contact with the truck's cab. That and the fact that it has an excellent handle design that allows the operator to latch and unlatch the Husky 10's slide mechanism without worrying about the trailer's angle is also a huge advantage. It activates automatically to make sure that the trailer can move back for tight turns on its own. It latches on again when you're at the right cruising speed for the best positioning.
