FW35S12360-1
Fifth Wheel - FW35, Flat Plate, 6.7
SAF-Holland

Designed for heavy-duty towing needs within the FW35 family, this flat-plate variant maintains a substantial 55,000-pound capacity while optimizing geometry for longer service life and consistent coupling performance. The flat-plate design provides a broad contact area for kingpin engagement, promoting even load distribution and reduced peak stresses during aggressive maneuvers, hard braking, and traversing uneven surfaces. The unit’s rugged construction supports repeated hitching cycles typical of regional and long-haul fleets, helping to minimize maintenance downtime and replaceable wear components. Classified under VMRS 059-001-135, it integrates seamlessly with fleet maintenance systems that track fifth-wheel components and service intervals, enabling efficient parts lookup and compliance reporting. Situated in the same fifth-wheel/hitch category, it emphasizes reliability, serviceability, and compatibility with standard kingpin interfaces found on a wide range of tractors and trailers. In practical terms, it delivers predictable engagement, reduced coupling effort, and robust performance in demanding environments such as construction, logging, and heavy freight. While cross references are not listed for this variant, fleet managers can rely on FW35 family compatibility and a proven platform for interchange within a mature maintenance ecosystem.
