Fifth Wheel Top Plate
SAF-Holland

This top-plate element represents a variant within the fifth-wheel family, designed to interface with standard tractor-trailer couplings while delivering reliable load transfer and articulation control. The VMRS code 059-001-001 anchors its role in the top-plate subsystem, with category context 42763 signaling its place in the Fifth Wheel family. The absence of a cross-reference list suggests broad compatibility with conventional fifth-wheel bases and mounting patterns used across fleets. The component’s function centers on providing a stable, accurately machined mounting surface for kingpins and related locking hardware, promoting even wear and consistent coupling geometry. In service, operators benefit from dependable coupling behavior under load, straightforward inspection for wear or damage, and compatibility with a range of matching slides, bolts, and jaws that adhere to standard industry dimensions. Safety notes in the product details remind maintenance teams to comply with Prop 65 guidelines during handling and installation, reinforcing a culture of safe, compliant practice in heavy-duty trailer operations.
