Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HW-1344 spring-type roll pin used for on manual pallet jacks?
A: The HW-1344 is a spring-type roll pin designed for spring retention and frame assembly on manual pallet jacks. It is a standard fastening component that holds critical springs and structural elements in place during normal jack operation.
Q: What are the exact specifications of the HW-1344 roll pin?
A: HW-1344 specifications: Nominal length 1.38 inches, nominal diameter 0.25 inches, press fit installation into 0.245 inch ±0.005 inch bore, high-carbon steel construction with Rockwell C36 minimum hardness, shear strength minimum 4200 psi, and compliance with ANSI B18.8.2 standard.
Q: Which manual pallet jack brands are compatible with the HW-1344 spring-type roll pin?
A: The HW-1344 fits multiple manual pallet jack platforms from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other OEM manufacturers using standard ANSI B18.8.2 spring pins. Verify that your equipment uses a 0.245 inch bore and spring-loaded frame assembly before ordering.
Q: Why does the HW-1344 require Rockwell C36 minimum hardness?
A: The Rockwell C36 minimum hardness specification ensures the HW-1344 can withstand repeated shear stress from spring tension cycles without permanent deformation or fracture. The 4200 psi minimum shear strength is critical for maintaining frame integrity and spring function under load.
Q: How do I identify if the HW-1344 roll pin needs replacement?
A: Replace the HW-1344 if the spring assembly is loose or rattles, if the pin is visibly bent or cracked, if the jack handle or frame assembly has unusual play, or if you cannot locate the pin in its bore. A failed HW-1344 can allow springs to disengage, causing loss of lifting capacity.
Q: Are there cross-reference part numbers for the HW-1344 spring-type roll pin?
A: No validated cross-reference part numbers are available for the HW-1344. Order using the exact SKU HW-1344 to ensure you receive a spring pin that meets ANSI B18.8.2 specifications and the required Rockwell C36 hardness.
