Rebuild Kit Top Plate
SAF-Holland

This top plate rebuild kit focuses on reconditioning the upper surface that directly interfaces with the kingpin and trailer hitch alignment system. By refreshing contact surfaces and restoring seating accuracy, it helps maintain even load distribution and predictable slide or rotation behavior during coupling operations. The product attribute indicates a Fifth Wheel family alignment compatibility, reinforcing its role in maintaining proper height, alignment, and transfer of torsional forces between tractor and trailer. VMRS classification 059-001-123 places it within the repair and replacement subset dedicated to critical load-bearing components. Applications span routine maintenance, overhauls, and field repairs where the top plate wear has begun to affect hitch geometry or mate alignment. Benefits include improved reliability of the locking mechanism, smoother engagement and disengagement, and extended service life of the overall fifth wheel assembly in demanding service environments.
