ROLL PIN
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a roll pin and what is its function in a pallet jack?
A: A roll pin is a hollow, spring-loaded cylindrical fastener used to secure pivot points, linkages, and articulating joints in manual pallet jacks. The RL107305 roll pin provides a removable connection that allows controlled assembly and disassembly of fork mechanisms and handle linkages.
Q: What pallet jack models does the RL107305 roll pin fit?
A: The RL107305 is designed for manual pallet jacks from major manufacturers including Crown, Toyota, Raymond, and similar OEM equipment. Compatibility depends on application location within the jack and precise diameter and length. Verify dimensions against your equipment documentation before ordering.
Q: What material is the RL107305 made from?
A: Roll pins are typically manufactured from spring steel or alloy steel with a zinc plating or similar corrosion-resistant coating. This material provides sufficient spring tension to remain seated during equipment operation while resisting rust in warehouse and dock environments.
Q: How often does a roll pin require replacement?
A: Roll pins are wear-resistant and typically last the life of the equipment under normal warehouse use. Replace if the pin becomes loose, fails to seat, exhibits corrosion that compromises fit, or if the joint it secures develops play or movement. A missing or loose roll pin will cause misalignment and unsafe equipment operation.
Q: What symptoms indicate a roll pin needs replacement?
A: Signs of roll pin failure include visible play or rocking at the joint it secures, rattling sounds during operation, difficulty engaging or disengaging the jack mechanism, and fork tilt or misalignment. If the joint that was secured by the roll pin moves freely, the pin has likely failed.
