Cushion and Pin Kit
SAF-Holland

Designed to restore critical damping and load distribution in the fifth wheel mounting system, this cushion and pin kit provides selected replacement cushions and securing pins to reestablish the original interface between the hitch and the frame. Worn cushions permit excessive movement and misalignment, increasing pin wear, reducing lock integrity, and elevating the risk of dynamic hitch play. By renewing the cushion elements and pins, the system returns to its intended stiffness and centering behavior, minimizing side forces and chatter during acceleration braking and cornering. The kit aligns with standard industry mounting geometry and is cataloged under the same service code as other cushion based components, enabling consistent ordering and stocking. VMRS 059-001-004 helps service teams locate compatible applications across fleets. In practice technicians apply it during routine maintenance after heavy duty usage on rough roads or when diagnosing fifth wheel looseness. Category 42801 places the component squarely in the fifth wheel hardware family, emphasizing its role in sustaining coupling integrity, loader safety and long term reliability of the trailer connection.
