Sukup Bucket Elevator Down: Seized Pin Won’t Press Out
Your Sukup bucket elevator is stopped by a frozen chain pin that refuses to move.
Why Chain Pins Seize
Corrosion, wear, and contamination pack the pin joint until it won’t budge.
Downtime mounts fast while the line stays down.
Torch attempts risk chain damage and crew safety.
Why This Happens
Corrosion and contamination build up in the pin joint under repeated load cycling. Wear allows debris to pack in tightly, locking the pin. The result is a seized joint that blocks disassembly and stalls equipment restart.
