Drawbar Hinge
SAF-Holland

Designed for articulation in drawbar assemblies, this steel hinge is manufactured to provide reliable pivot and hinge action for the drawbar connection. The tubing approach, specified as square or rectangular, supports secure fastening to corresponding frame sections while accommodating modular assembly layouts common in SAF-Holland hitch systems. The advantages include consistent hinge stiffness, predictable opening and closing behavior, and resistance to wear under frequent steering inputs and dynamic load conditions typical of combination trailers. With VMRS 059-004-006, it is categorized among frame-mounted hinge components, reinforcing its role in the drawbar’s moving interface. The category context (42759) places it among other hinge and articulation hardware used to enable safe, controlled drawbar travel. In practical terms, this part helps ensure smooth coupling and uncoupling actions, reduces play at the hinge, and contributes to longer service life by distributing stresses evenly across the hinge axis. Its reliable steel construction supports heavy-duty duty cycles and helps maintain alignment and function throughout the trailer’s life.
