Lock Assembly, Fifth Wheel, 2 in Gauge
SAF-Holland

Designed for fifth wheel hitch systems, the locking interface that accommodates a 2 inch gauge plug provides a secure connection during coupling and towing. The unit is designed for dependable operation under rough road conditions, resisting unintended disengagement and maintaining alignment during road and load movement. Its compatibility with the standard 2 inch plug enables straightforward replacement in service fleets and easier inventory management. The VMRS 059-001-010 code ensures classifiable maintenance data, improving parts planning and cross-compatibility with other items in the same subsystem. The design emphasizes tight tolerances and robust materials to minimize play that could otherwise lead to hitch misalignment, load shift, or uneven wear on mating components. On the shop floor, technicians appreciate accessible installation points and a straightforward return to service after inspection. The category context indicated by ID 42784 situates this part within the wheel end and hitch subsystem, supporting consistent procurement and maintenance workflows. Used as part of a complete coupling inspection, it contributes to safer pulls and longer service life for coupling hardware.
