When you’re facing harsh winter conditions, the reliability of your snow plow is non-negotiable. A single component failure can lead to costly downtime and incomplete jobs. The Buyers Products 16352030 Trip Pin is a small but critical part engineered to ensure your plow’s trip mechanism functions flawlessly, protecting your equipment from hidden obstacles and severe impacts. This pin is not just a replacement part; it’s an essential upgrade designed for durability and perfect fitment, providing the peace of mind that comes from knowing your plow is secured with a component built to withstand the toughest environments. Don’t let a worn or improper pin compromise the safety and integrity of your entire plowing setup.
Engineered from high-strength steel, the 16352030 Trip Pin is built to endure the immense shear stress and constant vibration associated with commercial plowing. Its most significant feature is the robust yellow zinc coating. This isn’t merely for aesthetics; the yellow zinc finish provides a superior layer of corrosion and rust resistance compared to standard paint or zinc plating. It actively fights against the corrosive effects of road salt, brine, and moisture, preventing the pin from seizing in the plow’s hinge points and ensuring smooth operation of the trip-edge or full-trip function season after season. This enhanced durability translates directly to a longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements for your valuable equipment.
The precise dimensions of this pin—a 1-1/4 inch diameter and a 6-1/8 inch usable length—are critical for its function. It’s designed to serve as the main pivot point for the plow’s trip assembly, allowing the moldboard to tip forward when encountering an immovable object like a curb or manhole cover. This action absorbs the shock, protecting the plow, the vehicle frame, and the operator. The included cotter pin ensures that the trip pin remains securely in place, even under the most jarring conditions. As a direct replacement for many OEM applications, this component from Buyers Products guarantees a perfect fit and restores your plow to its original factory performance.
