Designed for Roll-Off Truck & Trailer Applications
The 3/8" x 3" cotter pin is a retaining fastener used in mechanical assemblies where components must be held in position.
Roll-off trucks and trailers contain numerous pins, shafts, brackets, and moving assemblies that may require mechanical retaining hardware.
A properly sized cotter pin helps retain a compatible component when installed through the designated hole and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's requirements.
This replacement cotter pin may be used on compatible equipment from manufacturers such as BENLEE, Galbreath, Galfab, Dragon, Rudco, and other roll-off equipment brands, provided the original fastener specifications match.
When Should You Replace a Cotter Pin?
Cotter pins should be inspected whenever servicing the pins, shafts, or assemblies they retain.
Common reasons for replacement include:
-
Bent or damaged retaining ends
-
Corrosion or deterioration
-
Broken or missing sections
-
Loose or improperly installed pins
-
Removal during equipment disassembly
-
Missing retaining hardware
Cotter pins are generally intended as one-time-use retaining fasteners. Replace a removed pin with a new, correctly specified fastener rather than attempting to reuse a damaged or previously bent pin.
Why Proper Cotter Pin Sizing Matters
Selecting the correct cotter pin is important for proper mechanical retention.
When ordering replacement hardware, verify:
-
Diameter: The cotter pin must fit the designated mounting hole.
-
Length: The pin must extend sufficiently through the assembly to allow proper retention.
-
Material and Finish: The replacement must meet the environmental and manufacturer requirements for the application.
-
Installation: The cotter pin must be secured according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
A cotter pin that is incorrectly sized or installed may fail to properly retain the associated component.
