Bracket Pad Kit
SAF-Holland

Bracket Pad Kit is an engineered protection solution for critical bracket interfaces, designed to cushion and shield mating surfaces while maintaining precise alignment. The included pads, with a thickness specified for effective contact (0.38 inch), damp vibrations and reduce metal-to-metal wear, extending the life of supporting brackets and related hardware. By preserving alignment, the kit helps prevent accelerated wear on adjacent components, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. VMRS classification 059-001-004 places this item in the bracket and pad subsystem, and category 42801 situates it within trailer hitch and bracket assemblies. Although the data shows no cross references, the kit is intended to be a drop-in upgrade for existing pad interfaces on compatible assemblies, contributing to smoother operation, improved load stability, and quieter, more predictable performance during loading, towing, and highway service. Practically, technicians benefit from easier service intervals and longer life cycles for the bracket assembly while fleets realize reduced wear-induced complaints and fewer field calls related to pad failure.
