Fifth Wheel Assembly - Sliding
SAF-Holland

This high-capacity trailer hitching platform delivers dependable fore-aft adjustability to optimize coupling for varied tractor-trailer configurations. With a travel length of 12 inches and a mounting height of 10 inches, technicians can fine-tune the kingpin interface to accommodate differing wheelbases, cab heights, and trailer geometries without sacrificing ground clearance or load stability. The 12 inch stroke supports quick and repeatable alignment during hook-up and disconnect, reducing interaction wear on the kingpin, locking mechanism, and mating plate. Engineered for rugged, long-haul service, the design emphasizes torsional rigidity and uniform load distribution across the mounting surface, enhancing durability under dynamic highway loading and aggressive acceleration or braking. Compatibility with standard two-inch kingpins and common mounting footprints makes retrofits straightforward on a wide range of late-model tractors and trailers. In field settings, this feature minimizes downtime and increases throughput on yard, regional, and long-distance runs. The part is categorized within a robust fifth-wheel family and is classified under VMRS 059-001-135, supporting streamlined maintenance coding and service planning. Its application is especially valuable when operating in mixed-fleet environments where consistent coupling geometry is essential for safe, predictable towing performance.
