sellette
Explanation:
turntable = fifth wheel : sellette d'attelage entre le tracteur et le semi-remorque, ou dans certains cas camion + remorque
pour "quick release" c'est dans l'idée d'atteler et de detteler rapidement mais je n'arrive pas à trouver une phrase correcte

Reference information:
"La montée en puissance de gros VPCistes a multiplié les bases logistiques et développé un besoin d’attelage/dételage rapide et sûr pour répondre aux exigences d’attelages multiples. Ainsi, le système K.K.S. (Konfort Kuplung System), qui permet au conducteur <B>d’ouvrir ou fermer la sellette </B>et même de descendre ou remonter les béquilles sans quitter sa cabine, est particulièrement apprécié par ces transporteurs."
