FW35-8983XL06
Fifth Wheel
SAF-Holland

Within the FW35 family, the standard heavy-duty towing interface provides a durable, serviceable connection point between the tractor and trailer. The top plate and locking mechanism are engineered to handle high-cycle highway use, distributing vertical and fore-aft loads to promote smooth articulation during turns, braking, and lane changes. A robust mounting surface and proven metallurgy support long service life in demanding conditions, reducing maintenance downtime and replacement costs. This unit adheres to VMRS code 059-001-135, aligning with common maintenance, inspection, and service documentation practices to simplify fleet record-keeping and parts replacement workflows. It is designed for compatibility with conventional 2-inch kingpins and standard trailer rigs, making it suitable for a wide range of highway applications, including dry van, flatbed, and general freight operations where a highly reliable fixed coupling interface is preferred. While not specifying advanced sensor or electronic features, the configuration emphasizes consistency, repeatable alignment, and predictable wear characteristics across fleets. For fleets prioritizing interchangeability and straightforward maintenance, this variant provides proven fitment within the FW35 lineage and category 42518, enabling quick swap-outs and standardized stocking in the parts room.
