TouchLoc Operating
SAF-Holland

An operating mechanism featuring tactile and visual feedback to improve reliability of engagement in the fifth-wheel locking system. The system provides positive indication of full lock or ready status, reducing mis-engagement and ensuring consistent clamping across wear and temperature changes. This design supports on-demand diagnostics and status verification, helping maintenance personnel confirm proper function without disassembly. VMRS code 059-001-147 places it within the operating components family, with category 42780 indicating its role as an advanced actuation and safety feature. Compatibility considerations include standard mounting interfaces for compatible hitch assemblies and integration with existing control rods or actuators. In practical terms, fleets experience reduced abnormal wear, fewer on-road service calls, and improved uptime on operations that require rapid, reliable coupling in yards, distribution hubs, and highway services where trailer connections must be secure and immediate.
