XA-7103
Slide Kit Bracket
SAF-Holland

Constructed as a mounting bracket for a slide-enabled coupling assembly, this component anchors the sliding mechanism that allows the fifth wheel to compensate for misalignment and pitch during towing. The specified dimension Height 8 in highlights its compact yet sturdy form, designed to support the weight transfer and positional adjustment demanded by heavy truck operations. When mounted behind a conventional kingpin pedestal, the bracket provides secure guidance for the slide assembly, minimizing lateral movement and preserving hook-up accuracy across rough roads and switching between trailers. By enabling radial and fore-aft adjustments, it contributes to precise load distribution, improved ride stability, and easier shutdown of the trailer in dynamic road conditions. The unit’s VMRS code 059-001-003 indicates its place in the standard set of mounting hardware for sliding components in fifth-wheel systems, while the cross-reference to HLD XA7103 ensures compatibility with existing replacements. Within category 42807, it belongs to a specialized subset used in coupling assemblies where sliding compensation is essential. This part is suitable for fleets upgrading to adjustable hitch configurations or performing routine maintenance where slide alignment must be preserved for safe, efficient trailer operation.
