FW8S10742-1
Fifth Wheel Assembly - FW8, 13.8, 10.12 High
SAF-Holland

This FW8 variant emphasizes a 13.8 inch configuration with a 10.12 inch mounting height, designed for applications requiring a taller neck geometry. The FW8 family lineage guarantees compatibility with standard mounting rails and kingpin patterns used on established heavy-duty fleets. The 13.8 dimension, paired with a higher mounting height of 10.12 inches, supports hitching scenarios where trailer neck alignment demands additional clearance or tilt, maintaining stable engagement and reducing contact stresses. The flat, robust plate design is optimized for consistent load distribution and long service life under frequent coupling cycles. Operational benefits include reliable hookup performance in diverse operating environments and straightforward maintenance within the category 42518 framework.
