XA-R72
Base S/A, Outboard, HD-72
SAF-Holland

The base S A outboard HD 72 variant provides a robust foundation for heavy duty hitching with extended interface reach. Outboard mounting supports higher load distribution across anchor points and improves resistance to torsional forces encountered during aggressive highway maneuvers and demanding freight profiles. The design maintains precise engagement with compatible slide elements, aiding repeatable hitching cycles and reducing downtime caused by misalignment. The assembly emphasizes corrosion resistant finishes and high strength materials suitable for fleet operations in varied climates, including exposure to moisture, salt and abrasion. Compatibility with standard SAF-Holland mounting patterns and locking hardware ensures straightforward retrofit or new installation across a broad range of tractors and trailers. VMRS code 059-001-045 ties this component to the fifth wheel slide base family, and category 42763 identifies its place within the core lineup of heavy duty fifth wheel subsystems designed for reliability, uptime, and long service life in regional and long haul service.
