Fifth Wheel - Integrated Low Weight Slider, 24 Inch Slider, 8 Inch, Left Hand
SAF-Holland

A specialized variant featuring an integrated low weight slider is designed to shrink tare weight while preserving the essential load‑bearing capacity and fail‑safe engagement required for high‑demand operations. The 24‑inch slider length paired with an 8‑inch offset embodies optimized geometry for left‑hand orientation, enabling easier access for operators working from the curb side in tight loading docks and congested yards. The low weight design reduces unsprung mass, contributing to improved fuel economy, reduced drivetrain loading, and enhanced maneuverability under full payload conditions. VMRS 059‑001‑135 remains the guiding specification for installation and interchangeability, ensuring compatibility with standard kingpin interfaces and safety latches. Benefits extend to maintenance planning as well; lighter components simplify inspection, torque verification, and lubrication tasks without sacrificing durability. In service, fleets experience steadier steering response during lane changes, more predictable trailer behavior at highway speeds, and longer service intervals due to reduced wear in critical pivot areas. This configuration suits operators seeking performance gains without compromising reliability across mixed routes and trailer configurations.
