Modern fifth wheels allow the trailers to slide into the fifth wheel and lock into it very reliably when maintained and serviced properly. The engagement of the king pin into the fifth-wheel locking mechanism is the only means of connection between tractor and trailer; no other device or safety mechanism is used.
