XA-R960-NT
Slide Base Assembly, Heavy Duty, No-Tilt
SAF-Holland

Designed for harsh trailer operations, this no tilt slide base delivers a stable, precision mounting platform for the coupling subassembly in demanding applications. The configuration maintains alignment under load and during hook up, helping to reduce misalignment and wear while enabling efficient decoupling. A generous 60 inch slide travel provides extended reach and articulation on uneven yards, docks, or variable loading positions, improving hookup success in challenging environments. Fabricated from high strength steel, the rails and base plate resist bending and fatigue through repeated cycles, delivering reliable performance in long haul, regional, and vocational duty. Precision machined fastener holes and rail supports enhance tracking accuracy and smooth movement, minimizing side play and simplifying installation. The VMRS code 059-001-045 identifies its role as a frame or base assembly within the vehicle maintenance system, reinforcing its importance in the trailer’s primary load path. Typical installations benefit from consistent trailer positioning, reduced maintenance intervals, and safer, more predictable operation during coupling and uncoupling. During service, verify rail clearances, maintain lubrication on sliding surfaces, and inspect end sections for wear to preserve smooth, trouble-free operation over time.
