Adjustable Hitch Pins
Adjustable Hitch Pins for Versatile Quick Connections
Adjustable hitch pins are long, solid pins with a swivel handle and multiple holes at the end; they are designed to quickly connect equipment that may need to be disconnected later (like tractor implements). When the pin is inserted through two aligning holes in attaching components, it is secured on one end with the handle and the other with a hitch pin clip, which is inserted through one of the holes at the end of the shaft. The multi-hole design allows the pin to operate at different effective lengths.
Adjustable hitch pins are a variant of the standard pin design. Also known as trailer hitch pins, these fasteners are essential for securing trailers and attaching agricultural machinery to tractors and vehicles. Featuring a swivel handle and a through-hole or groove, they are held in place by a type of hitch pin clip, cotter pin, or lynch pin. The main difference between the standard and adjustable varieties is that the standard pin offers a single through-hole at the bottom, while the adjustable pin offers several. These pins are a type of three-point pin, which are offered in multiple designs and are used to facilitate quick connections in agricultural equipment or similar applications.
