Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: Insert the cotter pin through the pre-drilled holes of the components to be secured. Ensure it passes through both parts. Then, secure the chain to a stationary point. This prevents the pin from falling out. Finally, bend the cotter pin ends over to secure it in place.
Compatibility: These cotter pins are designed for use where a 10mm diameter pin with a 110mm total length is suitable. They are commonly used on trailers, truck bodies, and tipper trailers. Always check that the pin dimensions match the required specifications of the application.
Care: Regularly inspect the cotter pin and chain for signs of wear, rust, or damage. Check the pin's bend to ensure it is secure. Clean the pin and chain as needed, using a wire brush to remove rust and debris. Apply a thin coat of lubricant to maintain functionality.
