Fifth Wheel - Integrated Lightweight Slider, 36 in. Slider, 7.62, Left Hand
SAF-Holland

This integrated lightweight slider assembly in the fifth wheel family delivers a strategic balance of strength and reduced mass for heavy-duty tractor-trailer operations. Within VMRS code 059-001-135, the design emphasizes precise kingpin alignment and reliable hitch engagement under dynamic loads, making it a core component for fleets seeking consistent coupling performance. The 36-inch slider range provides ample adjustment to accommodate varying ride heights, load conditions, and turning radii, enabling drivers to maintain optimal hitch geometry with fewer manual interventions. The reduced weight of the slider assembly translates to improved payload capacity, lower unsprung mass, smoother articulation, and potential fuel efficiency benefits over long-haul routes. Left-hand orientation caters to fleet configurations that standardize slider actuation to the left side, simplifying maintenance and part interchangeability across vehicles using common mounting rails. Installation typically requires standard mounting hardware and rail interfaces, with alignment checks recommended during routine maintenance. In practical terms, this configuration supports applications ranging from dry van to refrigerated and flatbed segments where precise hitch positioning and dependable engagement are critical. Positioned within category 42518, this component is part of a broader ecosystem designed for durable coupling and predictable maintenance intervals.
