SPRING PIN
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BG 013-008 spring pin used for in electric lift trucks?
A: The BG 013-008 is a spring pin component for electric lift truck assemblies. Spring pins are retention fasteners that secure linkages, pivots, and mechanical joints in hydraulic and electric lift mechanisms.
Q: Which electric lift truck models are compatible with the BG 013-008?
A: The BG 013-008 is designed for Blue Giant electric lift trucks. Contact our parts team with your specific equipment model and serial number for exact compatibility confirmation.
Q: How does a spring pin differ from a roll pin?
A: Spring pins have a helical wound construction that provides radial spring force, allowing them to compress during insertion and retain tension to stay in place. Roll pins are solid cylinders with a slot. Spring pins are typically preferred where consistent retention pressure is critical.
Q: What material properties should I expect from the BG 013-008?
A: Spring pins are typically manufactured from stainless steel or alloy steel with corrosion-resistant properties. This material choice ensures reliability in electric lift truck environments where moisture and chemical exposure can occur.
