FW8S10742-3
Fifth Wheel Assembly - FW8, 24.0, 10.12 High
SAF-Holland

A high-capacity FW8 assembly featuring a 24.0 inch travel range and a mounting height of 10.12 inches, this variant is engineered for extreme load situations with a listed maximum of 150,000 lbs. The combination of a substantial travel range and elevated mounting height provides flexibility to accommodate high-neck trailers, tall kingpins, and varied tractor configurations, improving hookup accuracy and reducing alignment-related delays. The FW8 platform ensures compatibility with standard rails and mounting patterns, enabling straightforward installation on many heavy-duty tractors. In service, operators benefit from exceptional load-handling capability, consistent hitch alignment under heavy towing conditions, and durable performance across frequent coupled/uncoupled cycles. Regular checks of mounting hardware, rail wear, and lubrication of moving components help preserve reliability and safety in demanding applications within category 42518.
