Plate S/A, Fifth Wheel
SAF-Holland

The fifth-wheel plate serves as the primary articulation surface in the SAF-Holland coupling system, distributing loading across the kingpin interface and enabling secure pivoting of the tractor relative to the trailer. Engineered from high-strength materials, this plate provides resistance to wear and deformation under heavy dynamic loads encountered in long-haul and regional operations. The VMRS code 059-001-001 identifies its role within the fifth-wheel family, while category 42763 groups it with related components used to support robust hitching performance. Use cases span frequent hitching cycles, load fluctuations, and misalignment scenarios, where the plate ensures even load transfer, consistent pin engagement, and reliable articulation. The hardened surface treatment and precise geometry contribute to long service life, minimal maintenance, and predictable coupling behavior across a fleet operating in rugged road conditions and variable payloads.
