Still Pulling, Yanking, Jerking And Hammering At Your *!@"?+#@ Slider Lock Pins?
In today's fast-paced trucking environment, what load you're hauling and how much of a load you're hauling in your trailer not only changes from week to week or day to day, but now possibly down to the half-day. These constant changes in the load...in weight or in volume...sometimes may require you to modify the positioning of your trailer's slider. No matter what season -- summer or winter. No matter what elements -- snow, rain or hot sun.
With present lock pin retraction mechanisms, getting the pins to move requires a driver to manually pull with the force equivalent to moving 120 to almost 200 pounds. This process can be stressful, dangerous and time-consuming if the mechanism is not easily retractable. For these very reasons, Hutchens offers two alternatives to existing pin retraction mechanisms.
