HOLLAND FW0070

Type 'A' Locking Mechanism

Features Type 'A' locks with a swinging lock, front lock, plunger, slack adjustment bolt, and adjusting wedge.

Kompensator

Kompensator fifth wheel mounting bases are designed for use with torsionally rigid trailers such as tankers, drybulk, bottom dumps, grain and B-trains

When torsionally rigid trailers encounter uneven terrain, tight turns or curbs, they do not flex to relieve the twisting force experienced between tractor and trailer. This leads to frame cracks, leaky tanks and premature drive tire wear.

Holland Kompensator provides the torsional stress relief that rigid trailers require. The unique cradle design provides side-to-side compensation and allows more flexibility between tractor and trailer by reducing torque and twist transfer through the fifth wheel.

No Tilt

Holland No-Tilt is designed to be convertible from a standard articulating fifth wheel to a rigid “no-tilt” fifth wheel when required. In applications requiring a “no-tilt” fifth wheel, the oscillation (articulation) is provided by other means (eg. An articulating upper coupler). No-Tilt is available on both stationary and sliding mounting brackets.

Oscillating

Oscillating fifth wheels are available in both fully-oscillating and semi-oscillating models.

Oscillating fifth wheels are available in both fully-oscillating and semi-oscillating models. The fully-oscillating fifth wheel provides both front-to-rear and side-to-side oscillation (articulation) between the tractor and semi-trailer. The semi-oscillating version provides only front-to-rear oscillation.

Sliding

Provides the capability of transfering weight between tractor axles, accomodating trailers with different kingpin settings, and vary vehicle combination lengths.

The selection of a sliding fifth wheel provides the capability to transfer weight between tractor axles, accomodate trailers with different kingpin settings, and vary vehicle combination lengths.

A sliding fifth wheel also provides the following additional benefits:

1) Resale: a sliding fifth wheel offers maximum equipment flexibility and is more likely to fit the application of a prospective purchaser.

2) Improved Maneuverability: a sliding fifth wheel positioned forward provides additional maneuverabliity in tight locations and sliding the fifth wheel rearward accommodates trailers with short landing gear clearance.

3) Ride Comfort: driver comfort is increased as the fifth wheel is located closer to the centerline of the bogie or rear axle. When the axles are not overloaded, the driver has the ability to extend the unit for maximum comfort.

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.

Severe Duty Slider

The HOLLAND Severe Duty Slider System for Fifth Wheels is the highest capacity slider system in the industry.

· 80,000 lb. vertical and 200,000 lb. drawbar pull capacities lead the industry in sliding fifth wheels ratings.
· 8˝, 9˝, 10˝, and 11˝ bracket heights to meet all configuration needs for the OEMs and customers.
· 12˝, 24˝, 36˝, 48˝, 60˝, and 72˝ slider travels
to accommodate for a wide range of weight distribution and clearance needs.
· 2˝ slide increments for positioning versatility to meet any payload distribution requirements.
· In-cab air slide release control allows driver to easily reposition the fifth wheel when required.
· SDS modular design is service friendly to allow the changing of fifth wheel heights or adding an optional convertible No-Tilt top plate.
