XA8984-1
Base
SAF-Holland

Foundational interface piece that mates with the trailer's fifth wheel assembly to provide a stable pedestal at the kingpin location. Engineered with precision-machined surfaces and robust mounting points to resist high cyclic loads, this base delivers consistent alignment, reduces wear on mating components, and simplifies routine maintenance. It serves as the anchor for sliding and stationary base configurations in common fifth wheel systems, enabling fleets to standardize components across tractors and trailers. VMRS code 059-001-045 identifies it as a base element within the fifth-wheel family, facilitating compatibility with compatible slides and brackets listed in the same VMRS category. The category 42763 grouping underscores its role in the fifth wheel assembly, which is critical for safe tractor-trailer coupling, load transfer, and hitch alignment. Prop 65 safety labeling appears on packaging, reminding technicians to review the warning and follow handling guidelines during installation, service, and maintenance. When paired with compatible slide bases, brackets, and release mechanisms, this component contributes to a reliable, reusable coupler interface with predictable performance under varying road and load conditions.
