The FW35 Series is the world's most popular fifth wheel. This premium fifth wheel is designed for years of performance, and has been the foundation for evolutionary new ideas that expand fifth wheel function and value.  Available in a wide variety of models, the FW35 meets the needs of the transportation industry for today and beyond.

The FW35 Series features: a cast steel top plate which is machined flat for a greater load bearing area that reduces friction and uneven wear, cast-in grease grooves, and a bracket pin design that permits easy top plate removal for reduced maintenance cost and time.

HIGH KINGPIN-TO-LOCK CONTACT AREA

A machined top plate-to-yoke fit-up area maximizes surface contact and extends service life.  The FW35 Series locking system also provides high coupling protection, which protects against coupling at an improper height.  The kingpin-to-lock contact area is also 7.2 sq. in. - up to 87% greater contact area, over competitive models, for longer kingpin and lock life.

ONE STEP FORGED STEEL REAR LOCK

The FW35 Series also features a one step rear lock providing high coupling protection.  It has a forged steel split lock style, and the rear lock is machined and heat treated. This provides greater lock and lock pin durability.  Finally, the lock system includes an induction hardened solid tip yoke that is machined for extended service life.

VISIBLE LOCK INDICATOR

Visible lock indicator with infinite lock adjustment positions improves lock and kingpin durability.

STANDARD DROP HANDLE CONFIGURATION

A drop handle configuration is standard. This reduces handle damage and maintenance repairs due to improper coupling.  The release handle requires a simple, straight pull effort and is available in right or left hand release.  Our EZ grip release handle requires less pull effort to operate while improving safety.
