Fifth Wheel Bracket
SAF-Holland

Designed as the foundational mounting interface for the trailer coupling system, this rugged bracket anchors the fifth wheel assembly to the vehicle frame, shaping the load path from the tractor through the kingpin interface into the chassis. It coordinates bolt patterns, anchors mounting surfaces, and provides a rigid, vibration-tolerant platform that maintains alignment under dynamic highway and off-road conditions. The part is cataloged under VMRS 059-001-021, identifying it within the family of fifth wheel mounting hardware used to support critical coupling operations. Made from durable steel with protective finishes, it resists corrosion and can withstand frequent engagement, disengagement, and exposure to weather. Proper installation and torqueing ensure even load distribution, predictable lock engagement, and minimized wear on mating components. In service, it contributes to trailer stability during acceleration, braking, and cornering by preserving correct spacing and clearance for the mating kingpin. It is compatible with standard tractor frame configurations and widely used across heavy-duty fleets that rely on a consistent, reliable mounting interface. Routine inspection should verify fastener integrity, corrosion protection, and alignment when performing preventive maintenance; there are no cross-reference substitutions listed for this item in the provided data.
