Kingpin Housing
SAF-Holland

The kingpin housing serves as the structural enclosure that supports and aligns the kingpin within the hitching assembly. A robust housing ensures load transfer paths are clean and predictable, maintaining proper kingpin geometry under the dynamic stresses of vehicle acceleration, braking, and road irregularities. This component is designed to resist impact, bending, and wear, preserving kingpin alignment across multiple service cycles and reducing the risk of premature wear in the steering or coupling interface. Compatibility considerations include alignment with SAF-Holland kingpin hardware and related base slide assemblies, with category_id 42724 indicating its position within a dedicated kingpin housing subgroup of the catalog. The VMRS code 077-005-001 aids maintenance planning and parts stocking, enabling technicians to identify the correct housing variant for service, verify mounting points, and ensure proper fitment with adjacent components. In fleet operations, the housing contributes to consistent hitch performance, smoother coupling cycles, and improved durability in demanding applications such as heavy-haul and fleet deployment across variable terrain.
