Mounting Bracket - Replacement/Rebuild Kit
SAF-Holland

This replacement/rebuild kit for mounting brackets is designed to restore critical hitch mounting integrity with a taller 5.88 inch profile, closely matching established fifth wheel mounting standards. The higher height subtly increases the lever arm available for securing the kingpin saddle, enhancing rigidity under heavy vertical and lateral loads typical of long-haul operations. The kit ensures precise geometry between the trailer and tractor coupling planes, supporting predictable articulation and reducing misalignment that can lead to abnormal wear on the kingpin neck and slide mechanisms. A robust mounting interface contributes to safer, more confident engine-off uncoupling and assured re-coupling under varying load conditions. Targeted for the fifth wheel family, the component participates in rigorous maintenance cycles where repeatable alignment and reduced play are priorities. VMRS code 059-001-045 anchors its function within the hitch mounting category, and the provided category_id signals its place in the same family of horse-power critical hitch hardware used across fleets seeking improved durability and serviceability.
