Fifth Wheel, Integrated Low-Weight Slider, 48-in. Slider, 6.62, Left Hand
SAF-Holland

This integrated low-weight slider assembly for fifth-wheel applications combines a substantial reduction in unsprung mass with a robust sliding mechanism, enabling smooth, controlled coupling and uncoupling under load. The 48-inch slider provides ample travel to accommodate a wide range of tractor-trailer clearance scenarios, while the 6.62 orientation denotes a left-hand drive configuration that aligns with common tractor layout requirements. Engineered to preserve payload, the low-weight design improves overall vehicle efficiency by reducing rotating mass and contributing to better acceleration and braking response on long-haul routes. The unit integrates the slider, locking interface, and mounting features into a single, serviceable module, simplifying retrofit or replacement tasks in fleet operations. VMRS code 059-001-135 classifies the component within the fifth-wheel and slider family, aiding in maintenance planning and parts interchange. This model aligns with standard cross-vehicle mounting patterns, ensuring compatibility with compatible tractors and trailers in category 42518. Practical applications include fleets focused on maximizing payload while maintaining precise hitch alignment and repeatable hook-up performance. Regular inspection of wear surfaces, lubrication points, and latch integrity helps sustain reliability in demanding service. The design supports high-load distribution, reduced maintenance downtime, and consistent performance across varying road conditions and temperatures.
