RK09557
Handle Release Kit, Left-Hand
SAF-Holland

Left hand release kit provides an orientation specific, high‑quality subset for the release mechanism of SAF-Holland fifth wheel couplings. The kit includes a 5/8 inch washer, a cotter pin, an extension spring, and a left‑hand release handle, all selected to deliver consistent actuation force and dependable return action. The design emphasizes a simple, tool‑friendly installation to minimize misalignment during service and promote repeatable operation in the field. The aluminum or steel components are finished to withstand exposure to dirt, moisture, and road salt, while the left‑hand geometry ensures proper engagement on the corresponding side of the assembly. With VMRS code 059-001-016 and category 42799, this kit sits in the release handle family within the fifth wheel control segment. Cross reference to RK09557 indicates interoperability with existing SAF-Holland parts portfolios. In practical use, technicians replace worn handles and linkage with this kit to restore crisp release feel, reduce operator effort, and maintain safe uncoupling performance across fleets in trucking, construction, and distribution networks. The compact nature of the kit also supports tight service windows and quick turnarounds in busy maintenance shops.
