Fast quotes. Faster pin removal.

Fast quotes. Faster pin removal.

Why Chain Pins Seize Solid

Production is stalled with the line down and pressure mounting. Torch cutting risks damage and safety incidents on seized pins. Pins won't move due to corrosion, wear, and contamination buildup.

Why This Happens

Corrosion and contamination pack into pin joints under repeated load cycling. Wear allows material ingress that hardens over time. Thermal effects and debris lock pins solid, blocking disassembly and halting repairs.
