Why Tulga Fifth Wheel Tests fifth wheel hitches Under ECE R55 Instead of SAE J2638?

At Tulga Fifth Wheel, we’ve chosen to test and certify our 5th wheel hitches under the ECE R55 regulation instead of SAE J2638 for a clear and important reason: performance capacity. While SAE J2638 limits gross trailer weight (GTW) testing to 30,000 lbs, ECE R55 allows certification up to 50,000 lbs GTW. This higher threshold aligns perfectly with the demands of our heavy-duty fifth wheel hitches, ensuring they meet not just North American but also global standards for strength, safety, and durability. Our commitment to exceeding expectations in towing performance is why ECE R55 is the benchmark we trust.
