Sliding Assembly Mounting Base Fifth Wheel Cradle Komp
SAF-Holland

This sliding assembly mounting base cradle is engineered to support a sliding fifth-wheel configuration, enabling retraction and safe uncoupling while maintaining structural integrity under load. The VMRS designation 059-001-045 identifies it as part of the sliding top-plate subsystem, facilitating compatibility with compatible cradles and mounting hardware across the fifth-wheel family. Category context 42763 confirms its place within the broader coupling platform, ensuring technicians consider compatibility with standard frames, rails, and locking components. Cross references are not included for this entry, indicating a broad compatibility target rather than a proprietary match. The cradle design emphasizes robust retention, precise alignment during extension and retraction cycles, and compatibility with common Komp mounting arrangements where applicable. In practical terms, fleets employing sliding top-plates gain improved trailer maneuverability, simplified uncoupling procedures, and consistent engagement geometry, all of which contribute to safer operation, reduced maintenance wear, and predictable performance in multiple towing scenarios.
