FW35Z900XL1L
Fifth Wheel Assembly - Hold Flat Plate, FW35, 8.8 inch, Left Hand
SAF-Holland

Within SAF-Holland's fifth wheel category, this hold-flat-plate arrangement leverages FW35 geometry to deliver reliable tractor-trailer articulation with a left-hand release lever for rapid coupling and uncoupling in production and yard operations. The design emphasizes a robust plate-mount interface that maintains precise alignment between the tractor and trailer pins, optimizing load transfer and minimizing side loading during cornering. Key benefits include consistent king pin alignment, reduced wear through a carefully balanced balance of plate stiffness and mounting integrity, and an ergonomic LH release action that enables quick disengagement under load. The VMRS code 059-001-135 anchors the diagnostic framework for service and replacement planning, while the 42518 category context signals compatibility with SAF-Holland’s standard heavy-duty mounting footprints. Operators will appreciate predictable hook-up in mixed fleet environments, even when trailers are swapped or loaded at varying heights. Practical applications span long-haul, regional, and severe-duty operations where durability, repeatable coupling, and straightforward maintenance matter most. Cross references are not listed for this variant, reinforcing its standalone compatibility within the FW35 long-plate family for left-hand operation and integrated plate mounting strategies.
