XA-R48-NT
Base S/A, Outboard, HD No-Tilt
SAF-Holland

Designed for outboard mounting with a heavy duty no tilt configuration, this base delivers a stable, fixed articulation point in the fifth wheel interface. The no tilt arrangement minimizes tilt induced misalignment during cornering and on uneven pavement, enabling consistent coupling geometry across a broad span of axle configurations and wheelbases. Outboard mounting spreads load more evenly to frame mounting points, reducing torsional stress on the hitch assembly and improving life cycle reliability in high vibration environments. The robust construction uses proven SAF-Holland geometry and finishes that resist corrosion and impact in severe service. In practice, technicians appreciate the reduced maintenance demands of a no tilt design, which simplifies inspection and lubrication routines while maintaining precise engagement with slide rails and locking hardware. The unit is part of the fifth wheel family and is identified by VMRS code 059-001-045, tying it to the standard fifth wheel slide base ecosystem. Category context 42763 confirms its alignment with core fifth wheel components used in long haul and heavy duty fleets demanding durability and uptime.
