A first for Automechanika: Original spare parts now available for JOST and Mercedes-Benz axle systems.
JOST World and its JOST, ROCKINGER, TRIDEC and Edbro brands is exhibiting at Automechanika 2016 in Frankfurt from 13th to 17th September 2016 at Hall 5, Stand B33. The world’s leading producer of vehicle connection systems, modules and components for truck & trailer will be focusing on the safety of fifth wheel couplings, towing hitches, landing gears and other components for trucks and trailers at the Automechanika trade fair at Frankfurt. JOST plans to use this leading international trade show to introduce the original spare parts of cars, workshop equipment and accessories to the spare parts trade and workshop operators.
JOST always recommends using original spare parts during replacement of wearing parts for safety reasons. In order to ensure originality of its parts, JOST delivers all original spare part kits in packaging with a counterfeit-proof hologram seal. The company’s world-wide production and development enables it to offer a comprehensive range of services all around the globe. In addition to spare parts, JOST’s product portfolio also includes a range of convenient spare parts kits. The recoding of Mercedes-Benz trailer axles to corresponding JOST spare parts numbers is very straightforward, as JOST offers freely accessible and clear documentation.
“JOST has decades of experience with the Europe-wide supply of spare parts for safety-relevant truck and trailer components. From now on, operators of vehicles with trailer axles from Mercedes-Benz and JOST can also rely on this experience and the proven sales channels,” Rehbein emphasised. “As the manufacturer of the axles, we can guarantee that the original spare parts meet the same quality standards as the original axles.”
JOST axle systems
JOST acquired Mercedes-Benz TrailerAxleSystems in early 2015 and are now being sold as JOST axle systems. For 
the first time, the JOST stand presents the DCA Airmaster, which stores compressed air for braking systems and pneumatic suspension in the axle body, replacing the conventional compressed air tanks used on trailers and semi-trailers. Original spare parts for JOST and Mercedes-Benz axle systems are now available through the JOST sales network. The spare parts JOST supplies for the DCA series include not only new axles, but also spare parts for all Mercedes-Benz trailer axles that were manufactured before 2015.
The JSK 37, the robust cast fifth wheel coupling, is also on display. The fifth wheel coupling can also be purchased or equipped with the LubeTronic-5Point automatic lubrication system, which ensures reliable lubrication of the fifth wheel coupling plate and lock jaw. This results in lower operating costs by reducing the number of re-lubrication operations and the amount of grease needed.
ROCKINGER
ROCKINGER which was elected as the “Best Brand” 
in the category of towing hitches by German professional readers for the 12th time in a row presents its multifunctional alternating system VARIOBLOC for transporter, crosscountry vehicles and buses, in connection with pin hitch, hook trailer hitch and hitch ball. The VARIOBLOC enables various coupling systems to be changed and removed easily, thanks to the easy-to-access construction even when space is limited. This system is particularly suitable for towbar bracket systems and work devices.
Edbro
The Edbro brand – also known as the founder of telescopic cylinders showcases the CS 15 cylinder with a tipping weight of 22 to 45 tonnes. The cylinders in the CS series are characterised by a unique tube design and laser welding techniques that further increase the Edbro weight advantage.
