Fifth Wheel - HLD, HILS, 48 in, 10.1 in, Left-Hand
SAF-Holland

A height-indicating, low-profile fifth-wheel solution integrates Height Indication Lock System (HILS) with a robust 48-inch span to support precise trailer height alignment. This configuration is ideal for fleets operating multiple trailer types and varying tractor heights, as it helps maintain consistent coupler elevations to optimize hitch geometry and reduce wear. The mounting height is 10.1 inches, with a 2-inch king pin diameter, and a maximum load rating of 150,000 lbs, delivering the strength required for heavy-duty assignments. A left-hand release lever location complements typical operator ergonomics, simplifying coupling and uncoupling across busy yards or highway ramps. The integrated height-control capability reduces misalignment risk, improves hookup reliability, and minimizes downtime caused by height mismatches between tractors and trailers. VMRS code 059-001-135 provides unified maintenance documentation and part troubleshooting, while cross-reference FON SL7AWB975048 supports vendor interchange. Category context 42518 places this component among specialized fifth-wheel assemblies designed for challenging service profiles. In practice, the combination of precise height control, substantial load capacity, and straightforward operation helps fleets achieve safer connections, longer life for mating components, and greater adaptability when switching between trailer configurations and load scenarios.
