Linch Pins or Apple Keep Pins are precision fasteners that are used to prevent wheels or other parts from sliding off the axle that it is riding.
They employ a locking ring in their pin design, which fastens the pin in place. They can commonly be found on trailers as they are ideal for use in the agricultural or marine industries.
Linch Pins Apple Keep may also be used in the place of other clips for securing hitch pins.
Made from mild steel, with their “snapover” made in high carbon spring steel, they often are finished in a passivated bright zinc plating.
A range of sizes are available in the table below, and specials are available to order. Linch Pins Pear Keep are also available at Fastenright.
