FW35A036XL00
Fifth Wheel Assembly, Sliding
SAF-Holland

This left-hand release sliding configuration offers a larger travel range (36 inches) and a longer top plate footprint (length approximately 55 inches) within the FW35 family, delivering substantial fore-aft adjustability for trailers with varying payload distributions. The mounting height of 9.8 inches supports a broad spectrum of tractor trim levels and hitch stacks, enabling precise kingpin alignment across diverse equipment pools. The 2-inch kingpin interface remains the standard for compatibility with most semi-trailers, while the slider mechanism enhances the ability to optimize weight distribution, anchor stability, and turning geometry. VMRS 059-001-135 provides consistent maintenance and service documentation, and category 42518 confirms integration with FW35-based fleets. This configuration is particularly valuable for high-mileage operations, multi-drop routes, and mixed cargo profiles where quick re-positioning of the trailer relative to the tractor reduces coupling wear and improves overall trip efficiency. Cross-functional compatibility with FW35 variants is facilitated by the shared platform architecture, supporting streamlined parts management and technician training.
