Description
Overview:
The Cotter Pin & Chain Zinc Plated - Spring Loaded Ring with Flat Type Pin is a durable fastening assembly for securing trailer gates, drawbar lugs, implements, and guards on plant and garden machinery. The pin is made from tough forged steel with a bright zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance and long service life. A spring-loaded ring provides positive locking, while the flat type pin seats neatly against mating faces to reduce wear. A short retaining chain helps prevent loss when the pin is removed. Key dimensions: pin overall length 82 mm (about 3.23 in); pin cross-section approximately 7/8 in x 3/4 in (about 22 mm x 19 mm); ring size about 2 in x 1.6-1.8 in (about 50 mm x 40-45 mm). MPN: 200 916.
Key Features:
- Forged steel construction for high strength in repeated clamp-and-release use
- Zinc-plated finish for resistance to rust, road salt, mud, and moisture
- Spring-loaded ring gives quick, tactile locking and reduces accidental release
- Flat type pin head offers stable seating against brackets and latch plates
- Supplied with retaining chain to keep the pin to hand and minimise losses
- Practical size for common trailer gates, tailboard latches, and hitch lugs
- Pin overall length: 82 mm (about 3.23 in) for versatile fitment
- Pin cross-section: approx 7/8 in x 3/4 in (about 22 mm x 19 mm) for solid engagement
- Ring size: approx 2 in x 1.6-1.8 in (about 50 mm x 40-45 mm) for easy operation with gloves
- Smooth, zinc-finished surfaces reduce abrasion on mating components and are easy to clean
Typical Applications:
Securing trailer tailgates and drop-sides, locking removable pins on agricultural and plant attachments, retaining drawbar lugs, fixing mesh or timber sides on garden tippers, holding safety guards on site equipment, and general quick-release fastening where a positive, visible lock is required in outdoor or harsh conditions.
Also known as:
Often referred to as a split pin, R-clip, hitch pin, safety pin, linch pin/lynch pin, hairpin cotter, or quick-release pin. Terminology varies by region and application, but all describe fasteners used to retain components on shafts, brackets, and lugs where frequent removal and refitting is needed.
