XA-J948
Base and Bracket Assembly
SAF-Holland

Incorporated within the Fifth Wheel family, this mounting module provides a durable, precision-aligned interface that secures the coupling head to the chassis. The design emphasizes controlled load paths and minimized play, improving hitch responsiveness and reducing wear under dynamic loading conditions. A rugged base plate and bracket system facilitate consistent alignment with standard rails, allowing for reliable docking and articulation across varied trailer configurations. Installation is streamlined by conventional fasteners and a clear torque sequence, which supports efficient maintenance and retrofit work. VMRS 059-001-045 identifies the trailer-coupling subsystem for maintenance planning and cross-referencing with complementary assemblies. Category context reinforces its role as a critical structural component in heavy-duty coupling systems within the Fifth Wheel family. Prop 65 labeling is present on the product imagery; observe handling guidance during installation and service. For fleets, the result is stable hitch geometry, longer component life, and predictable performance in diverse operating conditions.
