Automated Transmission Clutch Anti-jackknife trailer product InventHelp says an inventor from Colorado has designed No Jack, a component that could prevent a semi-trailer from jackknifi ng. InventHelp says No Jack uses a retractable steel pin that would be produced in built-in versions for use on new-produc- tion vehicles. When a trailer's wheels reach 20 mph, No Jack activates the pin that drops down and locks directly behind the kingpin on the fi fth wheel. The pin sinks into the fi fth wheel plate and remains locked into place to prevent the trailer from swaying side to side. Once the trailer's wheels reach 19 mph or below, the pin automatically retracts back into the trailer's apron. New steer tire Bridgestone Americas introduces the R283A Ecopia steer tire.
