Hook Release Lever
SAF-Holland

The release lever with integrated hook is a critical control element in the coupling mechanism, providing mechanical advantage to actuate the locking hook and secure or release the mating surfaces. With a reach of 35.50 inches, the lever accommodates typical installation clearances across SAF-Holland hitch assemblies, supporting reliable actuation even when operators are wearing gloves or working under load conditions. As part of the component family, the lever ensures consistent lever throw, expected engagement force, and smooth travel through the full cycle of locking and unlocking. Category context places it in the lever and release hardware subgroup, while the VMRS code 059-001-019 helps service teams locate compatible replacements and plan maintenance. Although cross-references are not listed, this part interoperates with standard release arms, hooks, and latching components across the SAF-Holland portfolio. In practice, regular inspection for wear on the hook engagement area and pivot points helps prevent binding, enhances safety during coupling operations, and supports high-uptime performance in heavy-duty transportation tasks.
