XA-331-A-L-P
Fifth Wheel Plate
SAF-Holland

A high-strength, steel mounting plate designed for heavy-duty trailer coupling interfaces. This component delivers a robust load-carrying capacity with a class rating of 55000 lbs, enabling reliable field performance under demanding highway and vocational conditions. The steel construction provides excellent durability, impact resistance, and wear characteristics essential for long service life in coupling systems that endure frequent engagement, disengagement, and dynamic load transfer. In application, it establishes a rigid, uniform seating plane between the tractor frame and the kingpin interface, helping to maintain precise alignment and consistent hook-up geometry even as load and road conditions vary. The VMRS classification indicates its role within the fifth wheel mounting hardware family, supporting standardized maintenance planning, parts cataloging, and diagnostic workflows. Cross-references are not listed for this specific item, but it sits squarely within the Fifth Wheel family and is designed to be compatible with conventional mounting configurations within that product family. For service life extension, ensure clean mating surfaces, proper torque on adjacent fasteners, and routine inspection for wear or deformation. In practice, this plate contributes to safety by promoting stable load transfer, repeatable coupling, and predictable performance across diverse trailer configurations, reinforcing overall vehicle uptime and operator confidence. Category context emphasizes its place in heavy-duty fifth wheel hardware of the tractor-trailer coupling system.
