Cat® Grapple Connecting Pins are used to provide pivoting movement for the grapple of Cat® Machine attachment. These are found wherever a pivot must occur between two structures. Genuine Cat® Pins are specifically designed to operate as a system to deliver the performance you expect. Caterpillar design engineers match the right combination of dimensions, materials, heat treatment, surface treatments, and finish to each part to enable them to work and wear effectively with all the other neighboring and dependent parts. Cat® Linkage Pins are machined from high grade steel bars and hardened for exceptional strength and wear life. They work as part of the pin joint system for your specific Cat® Machine and are tested and proven in the world's most severe applications. They result in outstanding strength and fatigue life, superior resistance to abrasive wear, and exceptional protection against pin galling, even in high-load conditions. Application: Cat® Grapple Connecting Pins are designed for conditions that require superior load carrying capacity, strength, and wear resistance for longer pin joint life. Cat® Pins are the top choice for maximum performance in demanding applications. Consult your owner's manual or contact your local Cat® Dealer for more information.
