Fifth Wheel Assembly - Complete - ILS, 12 Inch, Sliding
SAF-Holland

Designed for demanding road applications where a rigid, reliable towing interface is essential, this 12-inch sliding configuration delivers a balanced combination of strength, control, and compatibility with standard rail patterns. The integrated load slider (ILS) concept minimizes play between the upper and lower components, promoting smoother deployment, quicker alignment during docking, and reduced wear during repeated cycles. Practically, fleets benefit from steadier kingpin engagement, improved fatigue life of the coupling platform, and more predictable re-coupling in challenging lot conditions. The compact 12-inch travel footprint is ideal for tight yard operations or tractor configurations that require reduced slider travel without sacrificing capacity. Its VMRS classification reflects its role within the heavy-duty fifth wheel family, supporting interchangeability with other ILS-equipped assemblies in the same class and simplifying part stocking for mixed fleets. When installed on compatible tractors, this unit enhances trailer stability at highway speeds, improves steerability through more precise alignment, and contributes to safer, more repeatable couplings during daily haul cycles. For maintenance teams, a modular, inspection-friendly design translates to straightforward service intervals and consistent performance across a broad spectrum of loads and operating environments. Category context confirms its placement within the dedicated fifth wheel assemblies lineup for over-the-road and vocational trucking needs.
