FW35J948XL80
Fifth Wheel Assembly, HLD, ILS, 48 in Slider, 8.81, Aluminum
SAF-Holland

This assembly leverages an Integrated Load System (ILS) configuration within a 48-inch slider footprint to deliver refined alignment control and smoother articulation at full payload. The interface is engineered for a 2-inch king pin and a travel length of 48 inches, with mounting height set at 8.81 inches to fit standard tractor-trailer geometries. The left-hand release and outboard slider arrangement emphasize operator ergonomics and maintenance efficiency while maintaining the robust load paths required for severe-duty work. With a standard/medium-duty application envelope, the FW35 platform balances strength and maneuverability for fleets performing mixed-duty routes. VMRS code 059-001-135 provides a standardized diagnostic reference, aiding maintenance planning and parts replacement cycles. Cross references include FON AA7LWB925048 to assist with cross-brand compatibility checks. Category context: fifth wheel assemblies within a sliding, compensation-enabled family (42518). This component plays a pivotal role in ensuring reliable hook-up, predictable swivel behavior, and consistent clamping force during coupling, essential for high-usage long-haul operations.
