FAQs

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need welding equipment, a grinder, measuring tools, and safety gear.

Are these pins suitable for light-duty trailers?

While these pins are suitable for a range of applications, their heavy-duty design makes them ideal for trailers and truck bodies requiring robust hinges. Check dimensions to suit.

How do I prevent rust?

Apply a rust inhibitor or paint the pins after installation.

Can I replace a single pin?

It is recommended to replace both pins at the same time to ensure even wear and proper operation, especially if the old pin failed.

What material are the pins made of?

The pins are made from durable steel.

How do I measure the correct size?

Measure the existing hinge pin, or measure the area and ensure that the pin will fit correctly.

Troubleshooting

Dropside is difficult to open or close.

Check for obstructions, and ensure the hinges are properly lubricated. If the problem persists, inspect the welds and the hinge pin alignment.

Hinge pins show signs of rust.

Clean the rust, apply a rust inhibitor, and consider painting the pins.

Welds appear weak or cracked.

Re-weld the hinge pins for a secure fit. Consult a qualified welder.
