EA A116

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the EA A116 roll pin and what does it do?
A: The EA A116 is a roll pin for Eagleman Model A manual pallet jacks. Roll pins serve as mechanical fasteners that retain components in fixed positions, typically securing the pivot axle or fork assembly to the main frame structure.

Q: What equipment does the EA A116 roll pin fit?
A: The EA A116 is compatible with manual pallet jacks manufactured by Eagleman, Model A units. Verify your equipment model before ordering to confirm correct fitment.

Q: What material is the EA A116 roll pin?
A: The EA A116 is constructed from hardened steel with a hollow roll design. This material provides shear strength to retain components under load while the hollow design allows the pin to compress slightly during insertion and removal.

Q: When should the EA A116 roll pin be replaced?
A: Replace the EA A116 if the pin falls out, if components it secures exhibit loose movement, or if the pin is bent or partially sheared. A failed or missing roll pin will allow the fork or axle assembly to shift or disengage during operation, creating a safety hazard.

Q: How long does an EA A116 roll pin typically remain functional?
A: Under normal warehouse use, an EA A116 roll pin lasts several years without failure. However, roll pins are subject to shear stress during full load cycles. In high-volume operations or harsh environments, inspect regularly for signs of partial shearing or loosening.
