FW35S836XL02
Fifth Wheel Assembly - Heavy Duty, Sliding
SAF-Holland

This heavy-duty fifth-wheel assembly is engineered for sliding operation and slotted for rugged, long-life service. The design leverages a 55000-pound load capacity to support frequent hitching cycles and dynamic loads typical in regional and vocational fleets. The sliding mechanism enables a broader range of knuckle engagement depth and kingpin travel, enhancing coupling flexibility in tight turning radii or mixed-duty applications where tractor-wheelbase configurations vary. The unit features a left-hand release and inboard mounting, delivering straightforward operation with reliable retention during transit. Within the VMRS framework, the 059-001-135 code reinforces its classification as a fifth-wheel sliding assembly, while the category context underscores its alignment with standard hitch systems used by heavy-haul operators. Although cross references are not listed for this variant, the FW35 family heritage supports compatibility with a wide range of standard kingpin geometries. Practically, fleets gain improved adaptability, reduced coupling effort, and consistent performance across diverse load profiles and road conditions.
