FW70S972XL00
Fifth Wheel - Heavy Duty Sliding
SAF-Holland

A FW8 family variant designed for left-hand operation with a manual handle, this configuration provides straightforward, hands-on control for hitch alignment and locking. While specific dimensions are not enumerated here, the left-hand orientation with a handle is well-suited for fleets that operate in configurations where quick adaptation and direct manual engagement are advantageous. The unit is compatible with standard FW8 mounting patterns and supports typical heavy-duty tractor-trailer combinations. In practice, drivers benefit from tactile manual engagement during hitching and uncoupling, reduced reliance on automated systems, and reliable operation in yard and road conditions. The component remains part of SAF-Holland’s FW8 lineage within category 42518, ensuring integration with established rails and mounting standards. Regular inspection of the handle mechanism, pins, and mounting hardware will sustain smooth operation and secure coupling across cycles of use.
