HOLLAND FW17 Gen II

E-Z Grip Release Handle

Requires minimum pull effort and drop design protects handle from damage caused by kingpin during a missed couple.

Replaceable Lock Insert

Machined and hardened, wear-resistant alloy with greater kingpin contact area over competitive models - that provides longer kingpin and lock life.

Patented Release Mechanism

Utilizes a patented lever arm design to minimize pull effort required. Also features an automatic secondary lock to ensure safe operation.

High Durability Lock System

Combines a ductile iron top plate with forged and hardened steel lock design to provide maximum durability and high coupling protection for additional safety.

User Friendly Lock Adjustment System

Makes the lock adjustment process simple and readily accessible.

Slider (ILS)

Holland’s Integrated Low-Weight Slider System (ILS) utilizes a lighter weight, no welding modular design to provide significant weight savings and easy height change.

Benefits of ILS
- Lighter weight without sacrificing durability and reliability
- Single-piece, bolt-on cast bracket (low weight, easy replacement)
- Two-piece side cushioning “upshock” bushings
- Slide-on (No weld), repositionable bulkhead fitting bracket
- Same air cylinder location on all heights (includes “quick-connect” fittings)
- 2” slide increments
- Available for both inboard and outboard mounting

Stationary

Holland stationary fifth wheel mounts are designed for applications where the axle loading, kingpin setting and vehicle combination length all remain constant throughout the fleet.

Stationary fifth wheel mounts are generally lighter weight and lower cost than sliding mounts, however, they do no offer the application flexibility of a sliding mount.

Air Release

New air release technology allows for in-cab release of the fifth wheel locking mechanism. With just a simple pull of a dash-mounted air switch, a pneumatic cylinder on the fifth wheel will effortlessly open the locking mechanism.
