FW35J912XL24
Fifth Wheel Assembly, HLD, ILS, 12 in Slider, 8.81, Aluminum
SAF-Holland

This aluminum-bodied variant embodies emphasis on weight efficiency without sacrificing structural integrity for sliding fifth-wheel applications. The 12-inch travel, combined with a 8.81-inch mounting height and all-aluminum construction, yields a notable reduction in unsprung weight, which translates to improved payload capacity and reduced stress on the truck’s propulsion and suspension systems. The left-hand release and outboard slider arrangement preserve ease of maintenance and serviceability in busy fleet environments. With a king pin diameter of 2 inches, the connection remains compatible with a broad range of trailer hardware, while the VMRS code 059-001-135 and category 42518 placement confirm its place within SAF-Holland’s standardized lineup. Cross references are limited for this aluminum variant, but the design remains compatible with the FW35 platform and related components, providing a practical upgrade path for operators seeking weight reduction without compromising reliability on long-haul routes.
