XA-J924
Base and Bracket Assembly
SAF-Holland

This mounting subassembly reinforces the hitch interface with a focus on rigidity and alignment within the Fifth Wheel family. The design emphasizes a stable interface between the chassis and hitch head, supporting uniform load transfer and reducing play that can compromise coupling accuracy at highway speeds or during sharp maneuvers. A robust base and bracket arrangement delivers predictable load paths, mitigating fatigue in adjacent components and extending life for pins and mating hardware. Installation benefits from standardized fasteners and torque targets, facilitating efficient retrofits during routine maintenance. The VMRS reference 059-001-045 situates the part within the trailer-coupling system for streamlined maintenance planning and cross-referencing. Category context reinforces its role as a core structural element in heavy-duty drawbar equipment. Prop 65 labeling is present on the packaging; observe handling guidance during installation and service. In practice, fleets gain improved hitch stability, more reliable docking, and reduced maintenance costs due to steadier load distribution across the chassis and fifth-wheel interface.
