Slide Base and Bracket
SAF-Holland

This slide base and bracket assembly combines the sliding interface with a robust mounting bracket to improve rigidity and reduce deflection under load. The integrated bracket anchors the slider assembly to the vehicle structure, helping maintain precise alignment of the fifth-wheel interface during high-traction events, cornering, and heavy braking. VMRS 059-001-045 places this subassembly in the slider/slide family, while category 42763 marks it as part of the standard base-slider hardware family. The bracketed design provides a compact, high-strength solution that simplifies installation and reduces the risk of misalignment due to frame flex or torsional stresses. Applications span long-haul, regional, and vocational trucking where reliable, repeatable hitch engagement is critical for safety and efficiency. To maximize durability, technicians should verify bracket fastener torque, inspect mounting points for cracks, and ensure lubricants are maintained on the sliding rails to support smooth operation over the vehicle’s service life.
