Fifth Wheel Assembly
SAF-Holland

This fifth-wheel assembly is engineered for high-load, long-haul applications within the FW35 platform family, delivering a robust coupling interface for tractor-trailer articulation. With a maximum load capacity of 150,000 lbs and a vertical load rating of 55,000 lbs, it supports demanding highway and heavy-haul operations. The design leverages a stationary integrated plate mount and left-hand release to streamline installation and provide intuitive crew operation during connection and disconnection. The VMRS classification 059-001-135 standardizes maintenance referencing and interchangeability across compatible fleets. While specific dimensional data is not listed for this variant, it shares the FW35 platform’s emphasis on reliability, repeatable engagement, and long service life. Its application scope spans standard to severe service conditions, making it a versatile replacement option for fleets pursuing consistency in coupling geometry and torque transfer. Fleet maintenance teams should monitor mounting hardware integrity and release mechanism wear, performing periodic checks per OEM guidelines. Cross-references are not listed for this item, but compatibility within the FW35 ecosystem ensures broad interchangeability with similar fifth-wheel couplers in this category (42518).
