XA-71-DUAS
Plate S/A, Fifth Wheel
SAF-Holland

Designed as a critical interface in the semi-trailer coupling system, this stationary plate provides the primary load-bearing surface for the hitch assembly. It distributes dynamic towing forces from the kingpin into the fifth wheel mounting platform, helping maintain alignment and reduce wear across the kingpin pockets and mating lock surfaces. Engineered to be compatible with the FW0070 configuration within the Fifth Wheel family, the component integrates with standard mounting hardware and locking mechanisms to deliver consistent clamp force and predictable engagement during both coupling and uncoupling operations. The plate’s robust construction supports high cycle loads and resistances to deformation under typical highway duty cycles, contributing to longer service life and reduced downtime. When sourced within the same family, it aligns with drivetrain components known for proven engagement geometry, ensuring compatibility with related brackets and mounting plates for straightforward serviceability and stock availability. The VMRS code 059-001-001 places it within the established category of fifth-wheel mounting hardware, enabling streamlined maintenance planning and interchange with related brackets and mounting plates. Categorized under the broader fifth wheel mounting group, it is suitable for installations requiring FW0070 compatibility, offering stable hitch mounting, reduced play, and repeatable alignment under load in variable towing conditions.
