Freightliner Offers Holland FWAL Aluminum Fifth Wheel

Daimler Trucks North America now offers the Holland FWAL aluminum fifth wheel as an option on its Freightliner long-haul and heavy duty models.

The Holland FWAL fifth wheel was developed through an engineering collaboration between SAF-Holland and Alcoa. This advanced lightweight product is the lightest weight, standard-duty fifth wheel in its class, according to SAF-Holland, and improves fuel economy, reduces emissions, and allows for heavier payloads. The forged aluminum FWAL Series is more than 100 pounds lighter than competitive fifth wheels, yet matches the performance of standard fifth wheels with its 55,000-pound maximum vertical load and 150,000-pound maximum drawbar pull capacity.

In addition to its significantly lighter weight, the FWAL Series also incorporates NoLube technology that eliminates the need to lube the top plate or locks - reducing maintenance and related service costs while at the same time offering cleaner and more environmentally friendly service.
