3CX, 4CX
The retaining pin is a key safety component that locks the pallet forks onto the loader bucket's cutting edge, preventing them from accidentally sliding off. If your pin is bent, corroded, has a worn-down "neck", or is simply missing, it's a sign that it needs immediate replacement. Operating with improperly secured forks is extremely dangerous – it risks the forks and their load falling off, which can lead to property damage and a serious accident.

A new, straight pin is your guarantee that your attachment is securely mounted according to safety requirements.
Pallet forks are always secured with two pins. Using only one is unacceptable and extremely dangerous.
After inserting the pin, you must secure it against falling out with a new lynch pin or R-clip.
Before fitting new pins, check that the holes in the mounting hooks are not worn or oval. Excessive play will accelerate wear on the new pins.
Regularly clean the pins and holes of mud and dirt to facilitate their installation and removal.
Answer: Yes, this is very likely. Worn or bent pins, as well as worn holes in the mounting hooks, cause excessive play. New, straight pins should eliminate it.
Question: I lost one pin. Can I work with just one?Answer: Absolutely not. Working with a single pin is unacceptable and risks the forks suddenly sliding off, which can lead to an accident.
Question: Can I use a regular steel bar instead?Answer: This is extremely not recommended and dangerous. Regular bars are not made of hardened steel and are not resistant to shearing forces. They will be quickly bent or sheared under load.
