XA-H736
Base and Bracket Assembly
SAF-Holland

This Base and Bracket Assembly provides a rigid mounting interface for the fifth wheel engagement system, combining a durable base with a compatible bracket set to support mounting to the trailer or tractor frame. The assembly is engineered to resist bending moments and torsional loads during high-speed maneuvers and hard-coupling events, contributing to consistent kingpin alignment and reduced wear on rider components. VMRS codification 059-001-045 ties this part to standard maintenance documentation across OEMs, while its inclusion in the Fifth Wheel family confirms its role as a primary structural element in hitching assemblies. The bracket arrangement enables straightforward installation and service, with predictable fastener locations and surface finishes that simplify torque control and inspection. In fleet applications, this assembly enhances reliability in COE and over-the-road operations, where repetitive hitching cycles demand rigorous tolerances, corrosion resistance, and long service intervals. The category context reinforces its function as a core Fifth Wheel interface hardware solution for dependable towing performance.
