FW35S972XL00
Fifth Wheel Assembly, HD Sliding
SAF-Holland

The sliding variant in this family extends versatility for tight yards and varied trailer lengths, delivering a travel reach of 72 inches while preserving a stable 38.50 inch width and 111 inch overall length. A 9.1 inch mounting height and a 2 inch king pin diameter maintain consistent alignment with standard tractor configurations, ensuring predictable hook-up and disconnection during busy depot cycles. The left-hand release and inboard SDS mounting scheme optimize operator ergonomics in confined spaces and minimize exposure to road debris during maintenance. With the heavy-duty rating suitable for standard to severe applications, this unit supports substantial vertical loads while enabling precise travel to align with trailers of differing wheelbases. VMRS 059-001-135 anchors the assembly in the industry’s diagnostic framework, and cross references to JOS JSK37USL and U9BG36 provide interoperability cues for mixed fleets. Category 42518 confirms its placement among sliding fifth wheel assemblies, emphasizing long service life, consistent engagement, and robust performance under demanding loading scenarios.
