Fifth Wheel Assembly, Sliding
SAF-Holland

In the 42518 category, the sliding variant emphasizes safety-conscious, durable coupling for high-demand over-the-road or regional fleets. While specific features are not listed, a sliding mounting interface provides reliable fore-aft adjustment to optimize tongue weight distribution and trailer maneuverability. This type of assembly facilitates faster trailer hookups with consistent alignment, reducing driver effort during dock interactions and on-the-fly reconfigurations on mixed routes. The VMRS code 059-001-135 situates the part within a widely adopted family of fifth wheel slider assemblies designed to endure repetitive coupling cycles and the stresses of long-distance travel. Users should ensure correct kingpin compatibility and precise rail alignment to maximize load transfer efficiency and minimize wear on both tractor and trailer saddles. In practice, operators gain improved control, smoother articulation through turns, and enhanced safety margins when operating with variable trailer configurations, all within the standard framework of category 42518’s premium sliding interfaces.
