Hitch Pin Clips
Hitch Pin Clips: Essential for Secure Connections
Hitch pin clips are a category of pin fasteners used to secure
hitch pins and prevent them from dislodging from mating components. These clips are vital for mobile, removable, or temporary components, such as trailer hitches and agricultural implements. By keeping hitch pins locked in place, these clips help prevent equipment from breaking free and potentially causing damage.
Huyett’s hitch pin clips come in various types to suit different applications.
- Bridge Pin Clips (R-Clips): Their R-shape allows for easy installation and removal; they are also available as a double-loop style for heavier-duty applications.
- Grip Pin Clips: These have a perpendicularly bent leg for locking, providing added security in light to medium-duty applications.
- Industrial Hair Pin Clips: These are designed for grooved applications, offering specialized retention but not suitable for use with holes.
- Lock Pin Clips: They feature extended legs for improved hole orientation; some are manufactured in accordance with AA55487 specifications.
- Industrial Safety Pin Clips: These self-securing clips with a coiled end for tension are perfect for temporary yet durable light connections.

Purchase Considerations
Consider the following factors before choosing the right hitch pin clip for your application:
- Mating Pin Compatibility: Most clip types work well with clevis and hitch pins that feature holes; however, hair pins require a grooved pin. Ensure the clip is designed to support the other fasteners.
- Application: Consider the specific requirements of your application, such as load, vibration, and movement, to select the appropriate clip.
- Type of Clip: Understand the differences between the types of hitch pin clips to choose the right one for your needs.
- Reusability: Some clips, like bridge pins, are reusable if maintained properly, while others may need to be replaced after use.
