SAF-Holland

Engineered for high-demand fleet operations, this integrated locking system (ILS) enabled fifth wheel hold features a 12-inch slider configuration designed to accommodate precise kingpin alignment across varied tractor-trailer pitches. The 6.88 dimension denotes the specific geometry used to optimize coupling geometry, delivering predictable engagement and a balanced load path during hitching and uncoupling. Finished in a durable AA surface treatment, the unit offers enhanced corrosion resistance and improved wear performance in harsh environments, extending service intervals in salt-laden or wet climates. The hold assembly supports rapid maintenance cycles, with straightforward slider adjustment that ensures smooth travel and minimizes binding or snagging during operation. Compatibility with FW17-style mounting arrangements is standardized through the VMRS 059-001-135 classification, which guides technicians to compatible service procedures and parts interchange. Cross-references indicate suitable alignments with established JOS and XMX series components, enabling reliable replacement without compromising safety or performance. In critical applications such as long-haul, regional, and heavy-duty distribution, this configuration provides dependable kingpin retention, stable coupling feel, and repeatable disengagement characteristics, reducing downtime and improving fleet uptime. The category context places this part squarely in the 5th wheel holds family, emphasizing compatibility with FW17 configurations and slider-driven adjustments for diverse tractor setups.
