XA-201-A24L-UP-P
Top Plate
SAF-Holland

As a top plate variant or plate segment within the fifth wheel family, this component provides the essential contact surface for the kingpin and helps govern the load transfer between vehicle and trailer. The plate's dimensional precision supports consistent locking and long-term wear resistance, preserving lubrication pockets and reducing friction during coupling operations. Being part of the same fifth wheel category, it is designed for compatibility with a broad range of SAF-Holland base plates and locking assemblies, enabling retrofit and maintenance across multiple trailer configurations. VMRS 059-001-030 identifies its role within the top-plate domain in service documentation, assisting technicians with parts alignment and replacement planning. In practical terms, fleet operators benefit from predictable performance, reduced downtime due to misalignment, and extended service life of the coupling interface when this plate is installed with matching components. When replacing, verify surface finish quality, ensure mating surfaces meet OEM tolerances, and check for any warping or deformation from heavy-duty use. Safety data in the accompanying details should be observed during handling and installation.
