A fifth wheel (10) for locking to a kingpin (16) of a towed trailer includes an operating arm (20) pivotable into and between a locked position for locking the kingpin in the fifth wheel and an unlocked position in which the kingpin can be removed from or inserted into the fifth wheel and a housing (106) coupled to the operating arm. A pull handle (101) is slidable in the housing (106) into and between an extended position in which the pull handle extends from the housing and a retracted position in which the pull handle is retracted into the housing. A spring (115) in the housing (106) biases the pull handle towards the retracted position. When the operating arm (20) is pivoted into the locked position the pull handle (101) is forced into the extended position, and after the operating arm (20) is pivoted to the unlocked position the pull handle (101) moves to the retracted position.
