Product Information
Full details
These SecureFix Direct Replacement Brass Shear Pins are essential for operators of wire rope hoists who prioritize workplace safety and equipment longevity. Designed to act as a fail-safe mechanism, these pins are for professionals and DIY users alike who need a predictable breaking point to prevent catastrophic overloading during heavy lifting tasks. While they provide excellent protection for your mechanical hoist, they are a single-use component that requires immediate replacement after an overload event, meaning you should always keep a surplus on hand.

FAQs
Can I use these pins on any hoist?
No, these pins are specifically sized at 9mm diameter and 39mm length. They are only compatible with hoists that require these exact dimensions.
How do I know when to replace the pin?
You must replace the pin immediately if the hoist stops lifting while the motor is still running, as this usually indicates the pin has sheared.
Can I replace a snapped pin with a bolt of the same size?
Never replace a shear pin with a bolt or any other material, as these may not have the correct shear strength and could cause the hoist to fail under load, leading to injury.
How many pins come in a pack?
Each purchase includes a convenient pack of 10 brass shear pins.
Do these pins wear out over time without being used?
When stored correctly in a dry environment, these brass pins are stable and do not degrade significantly, but they should be inspected for signs of corrosion before use.
Troubleshooting
Pin snaps repeatedly during normal loads
Verify that your hoist is not being used to lift weights exceeding its rated limit and check for mechanical binding in the hoist gears.
New pin will not slide into the housing
Inspect the housing for debris or sheared metal fragments from the previous pin; clean the channel thoroughly before inserting the new unit.
Hoist drum spins but doesn't lift
Check if the shear pin has already snapped; if so, the drive connection is broken and you must install a replacement pin immediately.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the pins is straightforward: locate the shear pin housing on your wire rope hoist, remove the damaged remnants of the old pin, and insert the new 9mm pin through the designated channel. Ensure the pin is fully seated and secured according to your hoist's specific manual. Compatibility is strictly limited to hoists requiring a 39mm by 9mm pin; always verify your current hardware specifications before installation. To care for your pins, store them in a cool, dry place inside their original packaging to prevent oxidation, and never attempt to modify or reuse a pin that has already experienced an overload event.
