Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HW-186 roll pin used for on manual pallet jacks?
A: The HW-186 is a roll pin (hollow spring pin) used to secure components on manual pallet jacks, typically fastening handle assemblies, pivoting joints, or pump linkages. Roll pins provide flexible retention that accommodates minor misalignment while maintaining positive connection under load and vibration.
Q: What diameter and length is the HW-186 roll pin?
A: The HW-186 specifications include precise diameter and length dimensions designed for standard manual pallet jack bore sizes. Verify exact dimensions in your equipment documentation. Using incorrect pin size creates joint play or creates resistance to removal. When ordering replacement pins, confirm compatibility with your specific pallet jack model.
Q: What material is the HW-186 roll pin made from?
A: The HW-186 roll pin is manufactured from carbon steel with a phosphate or zinc coating for corrosion resistance. The hollow spring design provides clamping force through internal spring tension. Material hardness is engineered to prevent permanent deformation under repeated cyclic loading typical in manual pallet jack operation.
Q: How do I know if the HW-186 roll pin needs replacement?
A: Replace the HW-186 if components rotate freely at the joint, if the pin is visibly bent or distorted, or if the pin falls out during operation. Worn pins cause handle sloppiness and can affect steering or pump engagement. Inspect pins during routine maintenance and replace as part of preventative service.
Q: Which manual pallet jack brands use the HW-186 roll pin?
A: The HW-186 is compatible with manual pallet jacks from Crown, Toyota, Raymond, Yale, Hyster, and other standard material handling equipment manufacturers. The roll pin is a common fastener across multiple brands. Verify bore hole diameter and pin location match your specific pallet jack before ordering.
