FW35H024XR00
Fifth Wheel Assembly - Sliding
SAF-Holland

A dedicated slider-type platform designed to deliver reliable performance in demanding over-the-road and vocational applications. The absence of specialized dimensional constraints in the basic feature set emphasizes versatility and straightforward retrofitting across multiple tractor-trailer combinations. The sliding mechanism enables precise fore-aft adjustment to optimize coupling height and alignment under varied load conditions, which reduces misalignment risks during hook-up and improves lock engagement consistency. The platform is classified under VMRS 059-001-135 and sits within a broad category of heavy-duty hitch systems that prioritize durability, serviceability, and long service life in high-cycle environments. Its practical benefits include easier alignment in dim or busy yards, reduced wear on mounting hardware due to improved engagement geometry, and compatibility with standard kingpin interfaces. This variant is particularly suitable for mixed fleets where quick adjustments translate into tangible uptime gains and safer, more predictable towing in daily operations. The 42518 category context signals its role as a core component in modern heavy-duty towing systems.
