Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is spiral pin SKU 1218-1303 used for?
A: SKU 1218-1303 is a spiral pin designed for forklift applications. Spiral pins provide mechanical fastening and retention in pivot joints, lift arm assemblies, and carriage mechanisms on material handling equipment.
Q: Which forklift brands does SKU 1218-1303 fit?
A: This spiral pin is compatible with forklifts from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Linde, Clark, Mitsubishi, CAT, and BT. Verify the pin diameter and length match your specific lift model.
Q: What are the material properties of spiral pin SKU 1218-1303?
A: SKU 1218-1303 is manufactured from carbon spring steel, typically hardened to Rockwell C43 minimum. The spiral design provides a self-locking mechanism that resists vibration-induced loosening in dynamic forklift environments.
Q: Why would a spiral pin be preferred over a straight roll pin?
A: Spiral pins have a coiled design that creates friction and mechanical wedging, providing superior vibration resistance compared to straight roll pins. This makes them ideal for high-load or high-vibration forklift applications where pins may otherwise work loose.
