Fifth Wheel
SAF-Holland

An enhanced version of a heavy-duty fifth wheel offers a larger king pin diameter of 3.50 inches to accommodate high-capacity coupling with heavier trailers. The rated load range from 62,500 to 70,000 pounds makes it suitable for sophisticated heavy-haul and long-haul operations demanding greater locking strength and wear resistance. The work surface remains the same 40 inches wide with a mounting height of 9 inches, and the unit uses a left-hand release system for accessible operation from the driver side in restricted layouts. The mounting method is stationary, and the release lever location remains on the left, ensuring consistency with standard training and operating practices. The design is specified for moderate to severe service, enabling fleets to operate heavier equipment with confidence, particularly on routes with steep grades, rough roads, or heavy containerized loads. VMRS code 059-001-135 supports maintenance planning and part replacement workflows, while category 42518 groups this variant with other high-end fifth wheels designed for demanding fleet applications. As with other models, operators should verify compatibility with tractor king pins and trailer king-pin geometry to prevent misalignment and premature wear.
