FW70N972YL00
Fifth Wheel Assembly - Heavy, FW70, 72 in, 8.9 in, No Tilt, Left Hand
SAF-Holland

Longer wheelbase operations require a larger sliding engagement, and this variant provides a no-tilt interface with a 72 inch overall length and an 8.9 inch travel. Left-hand orientation ensures ergonomic access and straightforward coupling during routine trailer hookups. The design emphasizes structural rigidity to withstand repeated engagement cycles and heavy loads, maintaining kingpin seating and minimizing side loading under uneven road surfaces. VMRS 059-001-135 anchors the component in standard maintenance documentation, while the 72 inch length expands compatibility with tractors configured for extended slide integration. The FW70 family alignment supports broad compatibility with common OEM mounting footprints, enabling consistent interchangeability across fleets. In practical terms, operators benefit from predictable hitch engagement, improved trailer alignment in restricted spaces, and enhanced control during docking maneuvers in distribution yards and cross-country routes. This unit fits squarely within the heavy-duty sliding category and is designed for reliability in demanding fleet environments.
