Description

Overview

SAF Holland Turntable Lube Plate FW342 replaces messy grease with a bolt-on bearing surface for Holland FW342 fifth wheels. As a result, it helps reduce friction and wear between the fifth wheel top plate and the trailer skid plate while keeping coupling action consistent.

Because this kit mounts to the fifth wheel, it suits both new installs and replacements where you want a cleaner working surface. However, you still need to keep the plate and trailer skid plate clear of grit to protect the bearing faces.

Features

Compatibility and Fitment

Clean the fifth wheel and remove all grease and foreign material. Centre the lube plate on the top plate, clamp it, and spot the mounting holes before drilling and deburring. Fit the supplied fasteners and tighten evenly to 6 N.m as specified in the supplied instructions. After hitching, visually confirm the jaws have fully engaged and the release handle sits in the locked position.

Compliance and Safety

Only trained personnel should fit this part because incorrect installation can affect coupling security. Follow the fifth wheel manufacturer’s service and hitching instructions and carry out routine checks at normal service intervals.
