Fifth Wheel Assembly
SAF-Holland

Within the category 42518 family, this fifth wheel assembly is engineered for substantial vertical and longitudinal stability in demanding highway and regional applications. The configuration supports a maximum vertical load around 50,000 pounds, with overall dimensions of 38.20 inches in width and 31 inches in length, providing a balanced footprint for mid-range trailers. Travel is adjustable to 12 inches, and mounting height sits at 7.80 inches, enabling versatile positioning to accommodate varying tractor heights and trailer heights on mixed fleets. The 2-inch king pin interface ensures compatibility with conventional fifth wheel couplers used across a broad spectrum of equipment. As a slider construction, installation accommodates fore-aft adjustment while maintaining secure engagement during operation. The FW17 model designation indicates a certain platform family, guiding compatibility with mate rails and mounting patterns common to this line. Operators benefit from predictable coupling geometry, enhanced alignment during hookup, and repeatable load transfer characteristics that support safe, efficient towing of heavy payloads. VMRS code 059-001-135 anchors this description within the standard classification of fifth wheel slider assemblies, reinforcing its role in critical loading and articulation tasks.
