SAF-Holland

Operating rod simplex SE assembly includes safety indicator components and related fasteners to drive the indicator mechanism and associated latch linkages. When actuated, the operating rod translates movement into a visible safety signal, helping operators confirm proper engagement before towing or departure. The included parts—the safety indicator, slotted spring pin, safety indicator pin, cotter pin, and the operating rod—are designed for straightforward replacement and reliable performance under continuous use. VMRS code 059-001-016 places this item in the operating rod family within category 42799, which houses simplex and safety indicator mechanisms for the locking system. In practical terms, it supports safer coupling by ensuring the operator can quickly verify status, reduces the risk of misalignment and accidental uncoupling, and minimizes downtime by enabling rapid service and inspection during routine maintenance checks at yards or maintenance shops.
