Slide Base, Fifth Wheel
SAF-Holland

This slide-base assembly is designed to provide adjustable travel within a Fifth Wheel configuration, enabling precise alignment with a broad range of tractor wheelbases and trailer lengths. The 36-inch travel capability supports robust positioning of the fifth-wheel head to optimize load distribution and hitch engagement across varied operating scenarios. The outboard travel design promotes stable load paths and predictable articulation, reducing interface stress and improving pin engagement accuracy. The unit’s robust construction and standardized mounting pattern simplify retrofits and routine service on compatible tractors. VMRS 059-001-045 anchors the travel subsystem within the trailer-coupling category, enhancing maintenance planning and cross-referencing with related slide-base components. Category context highlights its place in the Component subset of the Fifth Wheel family, illustrating its role in providing adjustable, reliable hitch alignment. Prop 65 labeling is present; adhere to handling guidelines during installation and maintenance. In practical terms, fleets gain flexibility, faster alignment during docking, and longer life for hitch hardware due to improved load management.
