Roll Pin

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is SKU A000041486 and what does it do?
A: SKU A000041486 is a roll pin fastener used in material handling equipment. Roll pins are semi-tubular, spring-tension pins commonly used to secure wheel assemblies, linkage components, and actuators in pallet jacks and lift trucks.

Q: Which equipment types use this roll pin?
A: This roll pin is used across multiple pallet jack and lift truck models from major OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, Clark, and Mitsubishi. It may be used in wheel assemblies, pivot points, or control mechanisms depending on the specific equipment model.

Q: Can a roll pin be reused if removed?
A: Roll pins are spring-tension fasteners and lose their grip strength after removal. Once a roll pin is taken out, it cannot be reliably re-installed because it will not retain its holding force. Always replace with a new roll pin during reassembly to ensure safe equipment operation.

Q: What causes roll pins to fail?
A: Roll pins fail when spring tension degrades over time, from corrosion reducing grip, from shearing loads if the component was overloaded, or from improper hole alignment. Symptoms include rattling wheels, loose linkage, or components that shift during operation. Replace immediately if any movement is detected.
