Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 217417 roll pin used for in electric lift trucks?
A: The 217417 is a roll pin (also called a spring pin or split pin) used in electric lift truck assemblies. Roll pins retain shafts, levers, or linkage components in fixed positions and are commonly found in steering, pump, motor, and drive train assemblies. Verify your equipment documentation to identify the correct pin diameter and length for your application.
Q: Which electric lift truck models use the 217417 roll pin?
A: The 217417 roll pin is compatible with select electric pallet jacks, walkie stackers, and rider trucks from major OEM brands including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and Jungheinrich. Provide your equipment model number and the location where the pin is needed, and we will confirm fitment and cross-reference numbers.
Q: What are the dimensions and specifications of the 217417 roll pin?
A: The 217417 is a carbon steel roll pin with specific diameter and length dimensions that match OEM equipment requirements. To ensure you order the correct pin size, provide the component assembly or the failed pin you are replacing. We will confirm exact diameter, length, and material specifications.
Q: What material is the 217417 roll pin made from?
A: The 217417 is a carbon steel roll pin with a hardened spring temper that allows it to grip and hold shafts or components securely. The hollow, slotted design of the roll pin compresses when inserted and springs back to lock components in place without permanent deformation.
Q: Can the 217417 roll pin be reused after removal?
A: Roll pins can be removed and reused if they are not deformed or damaged during extraction. If a roll pin bends, flattens, or loses its spring tension when removed, it must be replaced with a new pin. Always inspect removed pins for wear before reinstalling them. When in doubt, replace with a new 217417.
Q: What should I do if my electric lift truck is missing a roll pin?
A: Do not operate your lift truck if a roll pin is missing from steering, drive, or steering linkage assemblies. Missing pins can cause loss of steering control, unexpected component movement, or equipment failure. Identify which assembly is missing the pin and order a replacement 217417 immediately to restore safe operation.
