SAF-Holland

Release-handle rebuild kit for the fifth wheel is a focused service package intended to restore smooth, positive actuator action of the release mechanism. The VMRS classification 059-001-016 places it in the release handle-subsystem family, while the category 42780 identifies it as a fifth wheel service rebuild offering. The kit provides all necessary components to refurbish the handle assembly, including fasteners, retainers, and linkage hardware typically subject to wear from repeated operation and exposure to hydraulic or pneumatic actuation systems. Properly maintained release hardware delivers predictable operation under load, enabling drivers to disconnect with certainty and reducing the risk of accidental uncoupling. The kit is well-suited for preventive maintenance programs and for replacing worn parts during mid-life service cycles.
