|
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.
Electronic Lock Indicator (ELI)
Holland Electronic Lock Indicator (ELI) System protects your equipment and cargo providing an additional safety check to the coupling process, reducing the potential for improper locking, component damage and downtime.
The ELI system allows the driver to manage the coupling process from inside the cab as a supplement to the visual inspection and pull test procedures.
Sensors are integrated into the fifth wheel top plate’s locking mechanism, determine he coupling activity of the locking mechanism, and relay the information to a control module located in the cab. The control module evaluates the entire sequence of the coupling action and displays the result to the operator.
Features and Benefits
|
|
Lock Sensors
Durable, impact-resistant and environmentally sealed sensors are integrated into the top plate’s locking mechanism.
|
|
|
Display Options
ELI is available with either an integrated dashboard display, or an on-dash mountable display box.
|
|
|
Coupling Indicators
ELI display clearly shows whether the fifth wheel is ready for coupling, if the fifth wheel and kingpin are securely locked, or if they are improperly coupled. As an additional safety measure, if a coupling problem occurs, the red icons appear and remain visible until the problem is corrected.
|
|
|
Optional Data Download
ELI system is also designed to work beyond the cab. Using available software and download cable, coupling information from the 250 most recent coupling attempts can be downloaded to any laptop PC. This valuable information can be analyzed and used for driver training and coaching opportunities.

Integrated Low-Weight 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
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.
Features and Benefits
|
|
Torsional Stress Relief
Fifth wheel top plate slides side-to-side in the Kompensator cradle, relieving the high torsional (twisting) forces from rough terrain.
|
|
|
Optional Lockout
Both stationary and sliding Kompensators can be equipped with an optional lockout device which can be engaged when side-to-side compensation is not desired.
|
|
|
Stationary Kompensators
Holland Kompensator is available in multiple stationary mounting styles, including:
- Over-the-frame mount base with full mounting plate
- Over-the-frame base with angle mount base
- Over-the-frame base for mounting angles
- Outboard angle mount base with mounting plate
|
|
|
Sliding Kompensators
Holland Kompensator is available for sliding mounts with Holland’s Air Release technology or with a manual slide release base.
|
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.
Features and Benefits
|
|
Locking Shaft
Using an easy-to-use locking shaft the No-Tilt is converted from an articulating fifth wheel to a rigid “no-tilt” fifth wheel.
|
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.
Features and Benefits
|
|
Bolt-On Foot Mount
Special base designed for bolt-on applications. Foot mounts are intended for installation on corrugated or flat mounting plates. Foot mounts include integral tilt stops.
|
|
|
Intregrated Plate Mount
Lightweight base designed for bolt-on outboard angle mounting applications.
|
|
|
Weld-On Bracket for Angle Mounting
Designed for welding to angles at installation. Cast construction for maximum performance and durability. Brackets include integral tilt stops.
|
|
|
Bracket with Mounting Angle
Cast construction for maximum performance and durability. Brackets include integral tilt stops. Standard 4”x 4”x .38”x 36” long, however, various heights and frame widths are available.
|
NoLube
Holland’s FW31 provides a NoLube variation to the FW35 fifth wheel. FW31 NoLube provides an innovative solution to fifth wheel lubrication by eliminating the need for grease on the top plate surface, between the top plate and bracket, and in the lock mechanism.
Benefits of NoLube
- Reduces lubrication costs and time
- Extends maintenance intervals and improves shop productivity. Absence of grease allows mechanics to work faster.
- Saves on steer tire wear – maintains consistent steer effort, even in sharp turns, which helps to reduce steer tire scrub/wear
- Keeps shops clean and safe – Eliminates steam cleaning and costly grease disposal while helping to meet EPA regulations
- Preserves the environment – reduces grease contamination of storm and ground water, avoids citations and fines for excess grease on drive axle and frame
- Improves drive productivity – No re-greasing on the road; no greasy hands or clothing. Provides a smoother, more fluid ride and constant feel for the way the trailer pulls.
For more information on FW35 NoLube, see the FW31 Series Product Page.
