Fifth Wheel Plate
SAF-Holland

This high-capacity, load-bearing plate is part of the fifth wheel coupling system and is designed to provide a stable, evenly distributed bearing surface under heavy towing loads. Its primary function is to accommodate kingpin articulation while minimizing misalignment between the mating components during dynamic road conditions. In practice, the plate’s solid construction supports improved coupling reliability, reduces hitch wear, and helps ensure smooth engagement during routine connections in fleets that frequently operate with varying payloads. The component is integral to maintaining proper alignment between the kingpin seating area and the upper plate, contributing to improved towing stability and reduced tire scrub due to more accurate weight transfer. Compatibility considerations focus on matching SAF-Holland’s standard mounting patterns, bolt sequences, and lubrication interfaces, with VMRS code 059-001-001 serving as a precise maintenance and repair reference. This part is essential for fleets seeking durable, predictable performance from their fifth wheel interface across long service lives.
