Hi,
I have a 15k forklift that needs a pin for towing a 35,000 lb test skid (short distances in our lot). The pin that goes through the tow bar is bent and keeps getting stuck in the hole.
What I'm looking for is a good, bend-resistant steel bar stock, 1.375 inch dia. I am afraid that tool steel may be too brittle, especially in the cold environment we work in (far Northern NY State).
Does anyone have any recommendations? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
Todd
