SAF-Holland Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Air Cylinder

It’s hard to avoid wear and tear on trailer hitch components, especially when frequently coupling and uncoupling trailers. The SAF-Holland Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Air Cylinder helps automate the locking mechanism to make trailer connections more efficient. When this component starts to fail, it can lead to improper hitch engagement or difficulty in releasing the trailer. Avoid this problem by getting the SAF-Holland RK171-12307 to allow for more consistent coupling and uncoupling operations.

SAF-HOLLAND® is a product of the merger of two regional champions—SAF in Europe and Holland in the USA. This merger happened in December 2006 as a step to grow international markets for both companies. Today, the brand is leading the way in manufacturing chassis-related systems and components designed specifically for trailers but are also made available for trucks and buses. It is successful in expanding its customer base as it operates on six continents, with an estimated number of 3,500 employees working in all its facilities. The company's main products are axle and suspension systems, fifth wheels, coupling systems, kingpins, and landing gears.
