Holland FWAL fifth wheels an option on all Class 8 trucks

Aug. 8, 2013

The Holland FWAL aluminum fifth wheel is now an available option on all Class 8 trucks from North American OEMs, SAF-Holland said.

The FWAL is the only aluminum standard-duty fifth wheel, the company said, and is the world’s lightest fifth wheel. It uses Alcoa aluminum forging technology to reduce weight by 100 lbs. over competitive fifth wheel products, SAF-Holland said, without sacrificing durability or reliability.

Featuring LowLube technology, the FWAL includes a grease-free top plate surface that is equipped with steel reinforced lube plates for superior wear and peel resistance and comes with a performance guarantee that ensures performance and durability, as well as material and workmanship.
