XA-L24
Base S/A
SAF-Holland

Positioned as a base sub-assembly, this component underpins the connector interface between the tractor frame and the fifth-wheel system. The configuration emphasizes robust load distribution, precise alignment with mating rails, and dependable fastener integration to sustain high-duty cycling. By maintaining stiffness through the mounting footprint, it reduces dynamic misalignment during acceleration, braking, and cornering, mitigating wear on adjacent components and improving overall coupling reliability. The installation process benefits from standardized hardware and recommended torque targets, enabling consistent retrofits and faster maintenance turnaround. VMRS 059-001-045 ties the item to the trailer-coupling subsystem for coherent maintenance planning and cross-referencing. Category context places it within the Fifth Wheel family, underscoring its essential role in forming a stable, long-lasting base for the hitch assembly. Prop 65 labeling is included; follow safety recommendations during handling and service. In practice, operators experience steadier coupling performance and extended service life of the associated hitch components.
