Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the dimensions and material specs for the BG 013-025 cotter pin?
A: The BG 013-025 cotter pin is 3/16 inch in diameter and 1.5 inches in length. It is manufactured from low carbon steel wire conforming to ASTM A853 specification with a nominal Rockwell B hardness of 65 (as-drawn), providing corrosion resistance and reliable retention in pallet jack frame assemblies.
Q: Which Blue Giant pallet jack models is the BG 013-025 compatible with?
A: The BG 013-025 cotter pin fits Blue Giant manual pallet jacks including ROI-55, ROI-5, MTS 2000, PT-50, and PT-55 models. Confirm your specific model number and serial range before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Q: What is the purpose of a cotter pin in pallet jack frame assemblies?
A: Cotter pins are retention fasteners used in frame assemblies to lock components in place and prevent loosening under vibration and operational stress. In pallet jacks, they secure critical pivot points and linkage connections.
Q: Why is ASTM A853 specification important for the BG 013-025?
A: ASTM A853 low carbon steel wire ensures the cotter pin has appropriate ductility, strength, and corrosion resistance for material handling equipment. This specification guarantees consistent diameter and material properties across production batches, critical for reliable retention in manual pallet jacks.
Q: Does the BG 013-025 have any cross-reference part numbers?
A: The BG 013-025 is the primary SKU. An alternate designation is 013-025. No direct cross-reference numbers from other manufacturers are documented for this specific cotter pin. If you need compatibility verification with equipment from other brands, contact our parts team.
