Fifth Wheel Assembly, Sliding
SAF-Holland

This sliding hitch module emphasizes rugged construction and precise alignment for repeated engagement under demanding service. The sliding interface is engineered to tolerate significant fore‑aft travel while preserving a consistent locking engagement, which reduces hitch binding during turns and curbing when loading and unloading at terminals. A key advantage is the uniform contact profile across the mating surfaces, which minimizes wear and improves lubrication efficiency, lowering maintenance costs over the life of the equipment. The VMRS identifier 059‑001‑135 links this unit to SAF‑Holland’s fifth wheel family, ensuring compatibility with standard tractor plates and trailer decks across compatible OEM configurations. The design supports straightforward maintenance routines, including inspection of rails, pins, and locking components, with clear wear indicators to guide service intervals. Operators benefit from safer, more controllable coupling dynamics, improved uptime through reduced cycle times, and a versatile platform suitable for fleets handling a variety of trailers and chassis configurations within category 42518.
