Fifth Wheel Air Cylinder Kit, Low-Weight Slider System Replacement
SAF-Holland

This replacement kit restores reliable actuation and locking performance in a SAF-Holland fifth wheel coupling that uses a weight slider system. The assembly centers on an air cylinder that drives the slider, enabling precise engagement and disengagement of the kingpin with the tractor frame. By replacing worn components and duplicating the original installation hardware, operators can achieve consistent cycle times and predictable coupling action in the field. The package includes a single air cylinder, two bolts, two nuts, and an installation instruction, ensuring a straightforward retrofit process even in tight service bays. Benefits include improved actuation force consistency, reduced risk of slider stubbing, and enhanced safety during hitching and unhitching applications. The VMRS code 059-001-002 identifies this as a cylinder component used within landing gear and coupling assemblies, aligning it with standard maintenance practices for fifth wheel systems. Category context places this within fifth wheel and towing equipment portfolios, emphasizing compatibility with weight slider configurations and SAF-Holland assemblies. This kit is ideal for preventive maintenance or rapid field refurbishment on trailers experiencing sluggish slider movement, intermittent locking, or air leakage from the original actuator. Durable construction and included hardware support dependable long-term operation in heavy-duty trailer service. Cross references are not listed for this item.
