Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the MI 1009488 roll pin used for in electric lift trucks?
A: The MI 1009488 is a roll pin fastener used in Mitsubishi electric lift truck assemblies. Roll pins are hollow, split cylindrical fasteners that secure pivot points, shafts, and linkage components. They are commonly found in steering assemblies, hydraulic connections, and mast mechanisms where a non-permanent fastening solution is required.
Q: Which Mitsubishi electric lift truck models use the MI 1009488 roll pin?
A: The MI 1009488 is an OEM Mitsubishi part compatible with multiple electric lift truck models. Verify your equipment serial number and model designation against your parts diagram before ordering to ensure correct fitment. Contact us with your specific model and serial range for definitive compatibility.
Q: What material is the MI 1009488 roll pin made from?
A: Mitsubishi OEM roll pins are typically manufactured from spring steel with a hardened finish to withstand repeated compression and shear loads in lift truck applications. The split design allows the pin to expand slightly when inserted, creating a secure friction fit without deformation of the mating hole.
Q: How often should the MI 1009488 roll pin be replaced?
A: Roll pins are wear items and should be replaced whenever removed or if they show signs of corrosion, deformation, or loss of tension. Operating conditions, load cycling, and exposure to moisture affect pin lifespan. Inspect during routine maintenance and replace preventively if they appear loose or damaged.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the MI 1009488?
A: The MI 1009488 is the OEM Mitsubishi designation. Cross-reference compatibility with equivalent Hyster, Toyota, and Crown roll pins may exist, but dimensions and material specifications must match exactly. Verify specifications with your parts diagram before substituting aftermarket fasteners.
