Description

Overview

The SAF Holland LowLube Fifth Wheel Top Plate is a replacement top plate assembly for the FW331 fifth wheel platform that uses Low-Lube insert pockets instead of grease on the coupling surface. As a result, it helps reduce mess and service time while keeping a consistent coupling feel. This top plate includes foot pins for mounting where the original arrangement uses removable pins.

Features

The SAF Holland LowLube Fifth Wheel Top Plate supports workshop servicing, so you can restore the coupling surface and keep routine maintenance simpler.

• Low-Lube insert pockets designed to reduce top-plate greasing
• Supplied with foot pins to suit common FW331 mounting setups
• Cast top plate design with recessed, bolt-retained insert locations
• Service replacement option when the coupling surface or pin bores show wear

Compatibility and Fitment

This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required. XA331A
Fifth wheel top plates can vary by mounting system and handle orientation, so confirm your existing FW331 setup before ordering. During installation, inspect the foot pin bores, bushes, and mounting feet because these wear points affect coupling stability.

Compliance and Safety

Fit and inspect fifth wheel components only with appropriate lifting gear and trained personnel because this assembly is heavy. SAF-HOLLAND service guidance recommends routine inspection of the foot pin connection, and you should investigate any combined free-play over 3mm before further use. Excessive movement can accelerate wear and reduce performance.

Trailer Applications

The SAF Holland LowLube Fifth Wheel Top Plate suits vocational hauling and on and off highway combinations where the tractor stays connected to the trailer for extended periods. Fleet operators commonly fit it to prime movers running standard duty couplings on semi-trailers, dollies, and converter gear that use the FW331 Low-Lube platform.
