Heavy-Duty Slide Plate Assembly
SAF-Holland

This heavy duty slide plate assembly defines the moving interface between the tractor and trailer in high load configurations. It features a defined width and length footprint along with a dedicated travel length to accommodate dynamic hitch movement and kingpin alignment as the connecting surfaces articulate during coupling and road movement. The plate surface is engineered for low friction and high wear resistance, supporting smooth, repeatable sliding action and even distribution of hitch forces across the mating base and slide base components. The mechanical interface is designed to integrate with matching slide rails, locks, and bases within the SAF-Holland ecosystem, enabling straightforward retrofit or new builds for fleets pursuing consistent hookup performance and reduced cycle times. VMRS code 059-001-045 identifies this component as part of the fifth wheel slide base family, and category 42763 places it within the standard heavy duty hitching platform used across general and vocational trucking applications.
