Explanation:
This is the phrase which I could provide to the best of my knowledge as the original phrase don't have the exact meaning in Ukrainian, therefore, this phrase Замкова зчепка captures it's meaning and is well suitable and understood by the people of this industry. It is somewhat relatable to lockable coupling which convey the meaning of the actual source.

The locking jaw is a component of a fifth-wheel hitch, which is commonly used in towing large trailers, such as semi-trailers. The locking jaw is the part that clamps around the kingpin, securing the trailer to the towing vehicle. When engaged, the locking jaw ensures that the trailer remains attached to the towing vehicle, preventing accidental disconnections.

What is Kingpin?

The kingpin is a solid steel pin that protrudes from the underside of the front of the semi-trailer. It is designed to slot into the fifth wheel plate, creating a secure connection between the trailer and the tractor unit. The kingpin is a critical component of the fifth wheel coupling, as it ensures the trailer remains securely attached to the tractor unit during transit.
