FW35H948XL00
Fifth Wheel Assembly
SAF-Holland

For heavy-duty tractor-trailer operations requiring substantial vertical and horizontal load capacity, this fifth wheel assembly from FW35 series combines a generous length with a solid locking slider design to deliver dependable performance under demanding conditions. The platform features a left-hand release and inboard slide mounting, facilitating quick, controlled hitching from the driver’s side and minimizing exposure to road debris during coupling cycles. Key geometry includes a 34.70 inch width, a 69.50 inch length, and a 48 inch slider travel, enabling broad compatibility with trailers that demand extended slider motion for precise engagement and alignment. Mounting height at 8.80 inches aligns with common chassis configurations, while a 2 inch king pin diameter supports standard king pin interfaces. The 150,000 pound maximum load capacity and 55,000 pound vertical load specification provide ample margin for heavy hauls, including sand and aggregate applications where trailer stability is critical. Integrated slider mechanics help reduce wear and maintenance by simplifying rail contact and lubrication paths. VMRS code 059-001-135 situates this component within the same family as related FW35 variants; cross references include none, while category 42518 confirms its role in standard-to-moderate duty fifth wheel assemblies used across varied fleets. Practical applications span regional, long-haul, and vocational segments where repeatable hitch reliability is essential for uptime and safety.
