HOLLAND FWAL

E-Z Grip™ Release Handle

Requires minimum effort and protects handle from damage during a missed couple. Provides automatic secondary lock to assure safety.

Front Lock Insert

The top plate's front lock insert is a wear-resistant alloy of machined steel.

Forged Aluminum Top Plate

The FWAL's top plate is forged by Alcoa from the same alloy as Alcoa aluminum truck wheels (6061-T6), providing the perfect combination of the lightest weight fifth wheel in the world, with strength and durability.

LowLube Technology, Standard

LowLube technology reduces the need for lubrication on the locking mechanism. The replaceable NoLube plate inserts are mechanically bonded to a unique, perforated steel plate that provides low friction performance, and extends the life of the lube plate compound, eliminating the need for lubrication.

Air Release


The Holland fifth wheel air release system provides a simple, easy-to-operate, in-cab fifth wheel lock release system. With just a simple pull of a dash-mounted air switch, a pneumatic cylinder on the fifth wheel will effortlessly open the locking mechanism.

SAFE: Three-stage system ensures that the fifth wheel lock release can only be operated when the vehicle’s parking brakes are engaged. The unique air-assisted interlock design absolutely prevents accidental release of the fifth wheel lock, while still allowing manual release operation if necessary.

EFFICIENT: Reduces the time your driver spends manually locking and unlocking the fifth wheel. Less manual interaction with the fifth wheel (and the grease that can come with it) limits potential driver injuries that can lead to expensive worker’s compensation claims.

CONSISTENT: Backed by SAF-HOLLAND’s extensive five year parts and labor warranty, the air release system will work reliably when you need it to – every time.

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.
