Gibraltar LBH-149 Quick-release Pin Ring Handle 4130 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBH-149 is a quick-release pin with a ring handle, designed for fast and tool-free insertion and removal in industrial, mechanical, and assembly applications. Machined from 4130 alloy steel and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter with 4 inches of usable length. The ring handle provides a secure grip for quick disengagement under load or during frequent repositioning. Weighing 0.3 pounds, it is suited for both light industrial and production floor environments where repeatable, reliable pin retention is required. Licensed trades, maintenance technicians, and fabricators typically install and service this type of fastener.

This quick-release pin is used in jigs, fixtures, brackets, and mechanical assemblies that require regular disassembly or adjustment without tools. The ring handle style is common in applications where operators must frequently cycle the pin in and out, such as fold-down guards, removable panels, hinge locks, and equipment frames. The inch-measurement system and standard 0.5-inch diameter make it compatible with a wide range of off-the-shelf clevis brackets, hinge plates, and fabricated steel assemblies used across manufacturing, agricultural equipment, and general industrial maintenance.

Key Features

• 4130 alloy steel construction for high strength and durability
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• Ring handle allows tool-free, single-hand operation for fast pin cycling
• 0.5-inch pin diameter suits standard clevis and bracket applications
• 4-inch usable length accommodates moderate material stack depths
• Lightweight at 0.3 pounds for use in weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension quick-release pin for use in inch-system mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and fabricated equipment requiring a 0.5-inch diameter pin hole and 4 inches of usable engagement length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools — align the pin with the mating hole and push through until the retention mechanism engages. Ensure the receiving holes are clean, deburred, and sized correctly for a 0.5-inch diameter pin before installation. Inspect the quick-release mechanism and ring handle for wear or deformation before each use in load-bearing applications. Depressurize or de-energize any assembly before removing the pin to prevent uncontrolled movement.
