Description
Overview:
The Sword Retaining Pin 12.5 mm x 150.5 mm with chain and tab (MPN 200 913) is a robust tethered pin assembly for securing body hardware on commercial vehicles and plant. The pin is manufactured from mild steel with a clear passivated zinc plating for corrosion protection, and features a stainless steel tip for wear resistance at the working end. Supplied complete with a 200 mm chain and a tab for anchoring, it helps prevent loss of the pin and speeds up repeated locking and release. Typical uses include latching tailgates, dropside boards, and access doors where a positive, quick-action retention method is required. The circular ring provides a convenient grip point for rapid operation, even with gloves. This general hardware component is suited to bodybuilders, fleet maintenance and site repairs across tippers, trailers and plant equipment.
