SPRING PIN
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BG 013-005 spring pin used for?
A: The BG 013-005 is a spring pin component for Blue Giant electric lift truck assemblies. Spring pins are retention and alignment fasteners used in mechanical linkages, pivot assemblies, and hydraulic rod connections where vibration resistance and easy removal are important.
Q: In which Blue Giant equipment is the BG 013-005 spring pin found?
A: The BG 013-005 spring pin is designated for Blue Giant electric lift truck models. Consult your equipment service documentation to locate the specific assembly point and confirm this part number matches your machine.
Q: What is the advantage of a spring pin versus a solid pin?
A: Spring pins have radial tension built into their cylindrical design, which allows them to grip pivot holes tightly without requiring a cotter pin or locking device. They resist vibration-induced loosening better than solid pins and can be removed and reinstalled without damage.
Q: How often should the BG 013-005 spring pin be inspected or replaced?
A: Inspect spring pins during routine maintenance. Replace if the pin shows corrosion, loss of radial tension (feels loose in the pivot hole), or deformation. A weak or failed spring pin can result in component misalignment and potential safety hazards during lift truck operation.
