FW35B848XL00
Fifth Wheel Assembly
SAF-Holland

A robust sliding coupling option designed for high‑demand environments where rapid, repeatable hitch engagement is essential. The mechanism integrates precision‑ground rails, a reliable locking system, and a reinforced wrap‑around plate to resist torsional loads during cornering and braking. By maintaining precise alignment through long duty cycles, it minimizes hitch play that can cause trailer instability and uneven tire wear. The VMRS code 059‑001‑135 situates this component within SAF-Holland’s fifth wheel family, enabling consistent maintenance practices and compatibility with related service parts. Optional compatibility with various wheelbase adjustments and retrofits makes this unit a practical choice for fleets upgrading older equipment or standardizing a single platform across multiple tractor models. The overall design emphasizes straightforward inspection, predictable engagement, and reduced maintenance complexity, supporting safer coupling routines and improved operational efficiency in busy freight networks.
