Fifth Wheel Assembly - Hold, Integrated Low Weight Slider, 12 in. Slider, 7.81 in., Left Hand
SAF-Holland

Designed for rugged highway and vocational use, this integrated low-weight slider coupling combines a compact inboard slide arrangement with a left-hand release to streamline hitching and unhooking procedures. The overall footprint, roughly 34.70 inches wide by 33.50 inches long, supports straightforward retrofits across a wide range of tractor-trailer configurations while preserving cab clearance and service access. A 12-inch slider travel enables accommodation of varying deck heights and trailer elevations, promoting smoother connections and more stable articulation under load. The king pin diameter of 2 inches ensures compatibility with standard receivers and maintains secure coupling through dynamic road conditions. The left-side release lever enhances operator ergonomics by reducing reach during connection and disconnection, a practical benefit in busy yards and on the road. Inboard slide mounting contributes to improved lateral stability and reduces torsional stress on the hitch during high-speed maneuvers and long-distance hauls, supporting longer service intervals. This configuration aligns with standard/moderate-duty applications and fleet requirements for weight-conscious yet dependable performance. VMRS code 059-001-135 places it within the vehicle system maintenance domain; cross references JOS JSK37USL and U8BG12 indicate compatibility with common OEM platforms.
