Product Description
The Husky 32042 is the Husky 10-to-26 Glider, a replacement fifth wheel slider for Husky W Series hitch heads, rated at 26,000 lbs. A slider lets the hitch head move rearward up to 10 inches so a fifth wheel trailer has extra cab clearance during tight turns with a short-bed truck. It is the glider used in Husky's 31690KIT 26K W Series sliding hitch.
The glider is designed to avoid the usual roller-slider hassle of a locking pin that binds under load. Put the handle in the unlock position, then drive slightly forward or back; when the pressure comes off, the mechanism releases and the flipper automatically locks in the next position, even on uneven ground. Travel is on two composite materials designed for long wear and high loads, which reduces metal-to-metal contact and noise.

Pro tipChoosing a fifth wheel hitch
- Know your truck’s prep. Ford, Ram and GM factory puck systems use different mounts than universal rails.
- Rate it for the trailer’s GVWR, not its empty weight, and make sure pin weight fits your truck’s payload.
- Short-bed truck? You may need a slider hitch or offset pin box for turning clearance.
