A fifth wheel arrangement for coupling a semi-trailer to a leading vehicle. The semi-trailer is a side-tipping semi-trailer and includes a first side, a second side and a king pin. The fifth wheel arrangement includes a fifth wheel plate co 5 operable with the king pin. A pivotal mounting arrangement is to enable the fifth wheel plate to pivot relative to the leading vehicle as the leading vehicle and semi trailer travel over crests and through dips. A turn-table arrangement carries the fifth wheel plate and the pivotal mounting arrangement to pivot relative to the leading vehicle as the leading vehicle and semi-trailer corner. One or more hold 10 down portions are carried by the turn-table arrangement and spaced from the king pin, toward one of the first side and the second side, to hold the trailer down during side tipping.
