This guide is for professionals and individuals needing robust tailboard or hinge solutions for commercial vehicles and trailers. The AB Tools Weld On Gudgeon Tailboard Hinge Pin offers a durable, mild steel construction for secure attachment to tailboards, tippers, trucks, trailers, balers, and skips, with the key benefit of being weld-on ready. A caveat is that the 'self-colour' finish requires post-fabrication coating for corrosion resistance.

The gudgeon pins are manufactured from mild steel for maximum strength and durability.
'Self-colour' means the pins are supplied without any protective coating. This makes them ideal for direct welding, but they will require a protective finish like galvanizing, zinc coating, or painting after fabrication to prevent rust.
Yes, these pins can also be drilled and bolted on if welding is not a suitable option for your project.
The base dimensions are 50mm x 25mm, and the pin dimensions are 50mm x 12.5mm.
Each pack contains 3 x gudgeon pins.
They are suitable for a wide variety of uses including tailboards, tippers, trucks, trailers, balers, and skips.
Yes, for optimal welding results, ensure the surfaces of both the pin and the material you are welding to are clean, free from grease, rust, and any coatings.
Ensure both the pin surface and the mounting material are clean and free from grease, rust, or old paint. Use appropriate welding techniques for mild steel.
The 'self-colour' finish is not a permanent protective coating. Apply a suitable metal primer and paint, galvanize, or zinc coat the pins and surrounding area as soon as possible after fabrication for long-term protection.
Check for any welding spatter or debris obstructing the pin's movement. Ensure the pin is aligned correctly with its mating hinge component. Lubrication may be required depending on the application.
Re-evaluate the positioning of the pins before drilling. If already drilled, consider using slightly larger bolts or adapting the mounting plates.

Care:
As the pins are supplied 'self-colour', they are susceptible to rust if left untreated. It is highly recommended to apply a protective coating after installation. Options include:
