Designed for American Roll-Off Equipment
The American Roll-Off 3/8" x 3" cotter pin is a replacement retaining fastener for compatible mechanical assemblies on American Roll-Off trucks and trailers.
Roll-off equipment contains moving assemblies, mounting pins, shafts, and other components that may require retaining hardware to keep them properly assembled.
Cotter pins are commonly used where a pin or shaft has a drilled retaining hole. The cotter pin passes through the hole, and its split ends are bent to help prevent it from backing out.
For American Roll-Off / Palfinger equipment requiring a 3/8-inch diameter by 3-inch long cotter pin, this replacement fastener provides a convenient maintenance option.
When Should You Replace a Cotter Pin?
Cotter pins should be inspected whenever servicing the mechanical assemblies they retain.
Common reasons for replacement include:
-
Broken, bent, or damaged retaining ends
-
Missing cotter pins
-
Excessive corrosion or deterioration
-
Loose or improperly secured retaining hardware
-
Damage during equipment operation
-
Removal during equipment disassembly or maintenance
Cotter pins are generally intended for single use. A removed cotter pin should be replaced with a new, correctly specified fastener rather than reused.
Why Proper Cotter Pin Sizing Matters
Selecting the correct cotter pin is important for proper mechanical component retention.
Before ordering a replacement, verify the following:
-
Diameter: The 3/8-inch cotter pin must fit the designated retaining hole.
-
Length: The 3-inch overall length must provide sufficient material for proper installation.
-
Material and Finish: The replacement must meet the requirements of the original equipment.
-
Installation: The split ends must be secured according to the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Using an incorrectly sized or improperly installed cotter pin may result in inadequate component retention.
