Suspension The suspension cre- ates the link between the axle and the vehicle in order to compensate for road irregularities and improve maneuverabi- lity. The SAF-HOLLAND suspension system with its modular design can be used for up to three interlinked powered axles. Each axle is suspended indi- vidually. Suitable for gross vehicle weights of between 10 and 40 tons. Fifth Wheel Mounts with the kingpin and serves to secure the semi-trailer to the tractor unit. In addition to its traditional products, SAF-HOLLAND manu- factures technical specialties such as a lubricant-free fifth wheel or especially lightweight aluminum designs. Kingpin Mounts on the semi- trailer and couples with the tractor fifth wheel. SAF-HOLLAND products are sold around the world and are among the safest on the market. Landing Legs Retractable legs that support the front of a semi-trailer when it is not secured to the tractor unit. SAF-HOLLAND landing legs have a special coating that increases their service life sig- nificantly.
