XA-07295-THK
Yoke S/A
SAF-Holland

Within the SAF-Holland coupling system, the yoke component serves as the primary engagement link between the kingpin and the hitching interface. Engineered for high-load, high-cycle operation, it maintains precise alignment between mating surfaces to ensure a smooth latch cycle, minimize wear, and preserve clamp force during dynamic loads. The VMRS code 059-001-014 identifies this function in maintenance manuals and aids technicians in sourcing spares quickly, supporting efficient repairs. In standard trailer assemblies, the yoke is designed to fit with the corresponding kingpin housing and slide assemblies across the SAF-Holland portfolio, delivering compatibility with a broad range of tractors and trailers within the same family (category_id 42521). Benefits include improved latch reliability, reduced maintenance intervals, and predictable engagement across temperature changes, road hazards, and load shifts. Practical installation emphasizes clean mating faces, correct clearance, and torque verification to maintain full locking strength. For fleet operators, this component contributes to trailer stability during acceleration, braking, and cornering, reducing the risk of unexpected disengagement. The part’s robust construction and interchangeability within the category help fleets simplify parts stocking and minimize downtime during maintenance cycles.
