Universal Bucket Elevator Down – Seized Chain Pins Won’t Move
Your Universal bucket elevator is stopped by frozen chain pins that refuse to press out.
Why Chain Pins Seize Up
Corrosion, wear, and contamination pack the pin joints until nothing moves.
The elevator stays down while pressure builds to get production running again.
Torch attempts risk chain damage and create serious safety hazards.
Why This Happens
Corrosion and contamination build up inside pin joints over time. Load cycling and wear tighten the fit until pins lock solid. The result is a complete stop that blocks equipment restart and extends costly downtime.
