5th Wheel, Hold, ILS, 12-In Slider, 8.88, Left Hand
SAF-Holland

A compact, 12-inch slider configuration with an 8.88-inch geometry offers a balanced approach to kingpin engagement for FW17-based rigs. This left-hand hold emphasizes ergonomic accessibility and a predictable release path, supporting efficient coupling in busy terminals and during daily fleet cycles. The ILS-enabled design ensures secure retention during transient vibrations and climbs in grade, reducing the likelihood of misalignment during dynamic maneuvers. The VMRS 059-001-135 assignment confirms compatibility with a wide array of fleet components within the FW17 ecosystem, and cross-reference options to JOS XM6X series components provide flexible procurement options. The AA finish contributes to longer service life by resisting corrosion and wear in challenging climates, while the 42518 category context highlights its role as a reliable, mid-range travel hold for regional and long-haul applications. Practical benefits include reduced maintenance downtime, consistent hitch performance, and improved operator confidence during routine coupling operations.
