Air Release Handle
SAF-Holland

Air release handle is the manual interface used to command the locking mechanism during uncoupling operations. This robust handle is designed for frequent operation in heavy use environments, providing a reliable grip, corrosion resistance, and clear actuation feel even when wearing gloves. Properly functioning handles reduce operator fatigue and contribute to safer uncoupling sequences by enabling accurate and repeatable release force. The part supports standard mounting patterns and interfaces with compatible air‑actuated systems. In fleet maintenance terms, it helps minimize downtime and ensures that manual response remains quick and predictable across varying ambient conditions. VMRS code 059-001-016 is used for maintenance documentation and stocking, while category context places this component in control hardware for fifth wheel systems. This upgrade or replacement item is especially beneficial for retrofit programs and service fleets that emphasize safe, repeatable coupling cycles during daily operations.
