Gibraltar LBT-149 Quick-release T-handle Pin 4130 Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR LBT-149 is a quick-release pin with a T-handle design, built for fast, tool-free insertion and removal in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. The pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter with 4 inches of usable length, machined from 4130 alloy steel and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. The T-handle provides a firm, ergonomic grip for repeated cycling in high-use assemblies. This pin is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and equipment assemblers working on fixtures, jigs, linkages, and positioning hardware where rapid pin engagement and disengagement are required.

The LBT-149 is suited for use in manufacturing, agricultural equipment, material handling, and general industrial applications. It fits installations where a secure, positive-lock pin is needed without threading or tooling. The 4130 steel construction handles moderate shear and tensile loads typical of mechanical locking applications, and the zinc plating provides serviceable corrosion protection in indoor and light-duty outdoor environments.

Key Features

• T-handle design allows tool-free, one-hand operation for quick pin removal and insertion
• 0.5 inch pin diameter with 4 inches of usable length suits a wide range of fixture and linkage applications
• 4130 alloy steel construction provides solid shear strength for mechanical locking use
• Zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance in indoor and light outdoor environments
• Inch measurement system; compatible with standard imperial-dimensioned hardware assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard quick-release T-handle pin for imperial-dimensioned mechanical assemblies, fixtures, jigs, and linkages requiring a 0.5 inch diameter pin with 4 inches of usable engagement length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools; the T-handle is gripped by hand to insert or withdraw the pin from the receiver hole. Verify that the mating bore diameter and depth match the pin specifications before installation. Inspect the quick-release mechanism for full engagement before placing the assembly under load. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and lock out or tag out equipment before servicing any pinned mechanical connections.
