XA-J24
Base
SAF-Holland

Designed as a slider-mounted mounting platform for a standard fifth-wheel hitch, this component provides a stable, wide footprint and precise travel adjustment. The overall width is 39.50 inches, height 2 inches, and length 45.50 inches, with a 33.62-inch frame width and 24 inches of travel. The slider construction enables fore-aft adjustment to align kingpin position with various trailer configurations, improving coupling safety and reducing stress on the kingpin assembly. Outboard mounting style keeps the hitch flange clear of truck frame obstacles, simplifying maintenance and enabling broad trailer compatibility. The VMRS code 059-001-045 places this element within the fifth-wheel base/bracket assembly family, ensuring standard fitment across fleets and compatibility with other kits in the same family. In practice, fleets that operate mixed trailer configurations benefit from quick re-torque and adjustment, minimizing downtime during swaps. The category context helps with integration with other base kits in the same family, streamlining inventory and service planning. This solution supports reliable load transfer, straight pin alignment, and improved trailer stability in demanding road conditions. For fleet operations, a versatile mounting solution reduces inventory complexity and speeds service times during trailer swaps while maintaining alignment accuracy and safety margins.
