Fifth Wheel Assembly, Hold, Integrated Locking Slider, 48-In. Slider, 8.81 in., AA
SAF-Holland

The practice of combining an integrated locking slider with a 48 inch slider travel supports high duty cycles and lengthy hitch cycles typical of long-haul and heavy equipment transport. This FW35 based assembly uses a slider mounting approach and a left-hand release to deliver consistent engagement while maintaining simple, accessible control from the driver’s side. With standard FW35 platform compatibility, the 48 inch travel offers greater tolerance for misalignment and easier engagement in tight rear tractorerover conditions, enhancing safety during coupling operations. The mounting height of 8.81 inches and a king pin diameter of 2 inches align with common tractor-trailer interfaces, ensuring broad compatibility across fleets that prioritize quick, reliable connections. The integrated design reduces external linkage exposure, contributing to lower maintenance needs and more predictable performance in adverse weather or rough road conditions. VMRS 059-001-135 anchors this unit within the fifth wheel hardware family; cross references include none, with category 42518 marking its place in integrated locking slider variants designed for standard-to-moderate duty applications. This configuration is well-suited for fleets prioritizing ease of operation, durability, and reduced downtime in demanding over-the-road service.
