Gibraltar MRQ-SS-1254 Ball Lock Hitch Pin Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR MRQ-SS-1254 is a ball lock hitch pin used to secure clevis connections, linkages, and quick-release assemblies in industrial, agricultural, and mechanical applications. The pin measures 0.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches in overall length, with 2.5 inches of usable length for engagement. Constructed from uncoated stainless steel with a Rockwell C hardness rating of 25 to 34, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance and structural integrity in demanding service environments. The ball lock mechanism allows for fast, tool-free insertion and removal, making it well suited for frequent connect-disconnect cycles in the field.

This hitch pin is commonly used in agricultural equipment, material handling systems, tow hitches, and general mechanical assemblies where quick pin-and-release operation is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, wet, or corrosive environments where carbon steel alternatives would be at risk of oxidation. Maintenance technicians, equipment operators, and field service personnel working across industrial and agricultural sectors are the typical end users for this type of fastener.

Key Features

• Ball lock mechanism enables tool-free, quick-release installation and removal
• Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for outdoor and wet environments
• Rockwell C 25 to 34 hardness rating for durable service under load
• 0.5 inch pin diameter with 2.5 inches of usable engagement length
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating delamination

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 0.5 inch diameter ball lock hitch pin for use in clevis, linkage, and quick-connect mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.5 inch pin bore.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — insert the pin through aligned bores until the ball bearing seats and locks in place. Confirm the ball lock is fully engaged before applying load. Inspect the ball lock mechanism for wear or deformation during routine maintenance. Remove load from the assembly before releasing the pin.
