Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for the KO 11073-20 roll pin?
A: The KO 11073-20 is a 3/16 inch diameter roll pin with a nominal length of 1 inch. This size is used in electric lift truck steering and lift mechanism assemblies. The larger diameter and length compared to manual jack pins accommodate higher operational forces in powered equipment.
Q: Which electric lift truck models require the KO 11073-20 roll pin?
A: The KO 11073-20 is compatible with electric lift trucks from Toyota, Crown, Raymond, Jungheinrich, Linde, and other major manufacturers. This pin is used in steering knuckle, mast guide, and drive mechanism assemblies across multiple model generations. Verify your truck serial range and assembly configuration before ordering.
Q: Can I use a different diameter or length roll pin in place of the KO 11073-20?
A: No. Using an incorrect pin diameter or length will cause fit and alignment problems in steering and lift mechanisms. Undersized pins allow excessive play; oversized pins do not fit properly. Electric trucks require precise component tolerances for safe operation. Always use the exact part number specified for your equipment.
Q: What material and finish does the KO 11073-20 have?
A: The KO 11073-20 is manufactured from alloy steel with a spring-tempered finish and light oil coating for corrosion protection. The coiled construction provides spring force for secure retention. Material hardness resists shear and bending forces common in powered lift truck operation.
Q: How often should the KO 11073-20 roll pin be inspected or replaced?
A: Inspect this pin during routine maintenance cycles, typically every 500 to 1000 operating hours depending on usage intensity. Replace immediately if the pin shows corrosion, bending, or looseness. Worn pins in steering assemblies create safety hazards by allowing uncontrolled movement. Electric truck operation requires reliable pin retention.
