SAF-HOLLAND and Alcoa (the world's leader in aluminum technology) have partnered to produce the world's lightest standard duty fifth wheel, the Aluminum Fifth Wheel.

The FWAL Series aluminum fifth wheel can save up to 125 lbs.* compared to competitive models.  Less weight means more load per trip, which means more PROFIT per trip!

The FWAL Series also features our NoLube technology, standard.  That means no grease, on the top plate or the locks, ever. 

A fifth wheel is only as good as the company that stands behind it, and SAF-HOLLAND has raised the bar on supplier accountability.  We offer the industry's first Performance Guarantee.  SAF-HOLLAND warrants not only the material and workmanship of the FWAL Series fifth wheel, but we also guarantee the durability as well.

Simply put:

- No bracket pocket insert replacements

- No lock jaw replacements

- No rebuilds

- Guaranteed for 5 Years / 500,000 Miles**

LOAD CAPACITY: 55,000 lbs. Maximum Vertical Load

*When used with a Holland ILS Slider, the FWAL weighs 125 lbs. less than the competitors' comparable fifth wheel / slider combination.
**Please see FWAL Warranty for complete details.

NoLube TECHNOLOGY, STANDARD

The FWAL features our NoLube technology, which requires no fifth wheel lubrication, including the lock.  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.

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.

FRONT LOCK INSERT

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

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.
