EH-HD

Internally Mounted Pin Spring

Steel spring is mounted inside the robust pin to protect it from impact damage.

Hold-open Feature

A standard feature for all non-lock and auto-lock pins. When the pin is raised to its full open position, a 1/8-turn of the handle will engage the hold-open position of the key / keyway.

Interchangeable Handle Settings

All EH models are shipped with handles mounted in the fold-down setting. To change to a rigid-up setting, simply remove the handle, turn 180°, and reinstall.

Simple Design, Easy to Service, with Minimal Parts

Non-lock and auto-lock pins are interchangeable.

Durable. Reliable. Survivable.

Cast carbon steel alloy construction including frame, pin and handle. Proprietary, precision formed springs are tested to over 1 million compression cycles. Pins are heat-treated and through-hardened for optimum wear resistance.

Lab Tested - SAF-HOLLAND’s dedicated ISO certified Coupling Test Lab, located in Holland, Michigan, USA, has over 40 years of experience in static and dynamic testing of vehicle coupling systems.

Field Tested - Extensive, real-world testing is performed during product development. For example, the new EH-HD was successfully field tested in cooperation with several major passenger and air cargo airlines.

Frames receive a 6-stage phosphate pretreatment prior to an epoxy power coat finish. Standard colors are safety yellow or white. Red is optionally available. Pins, springs and handles receive a thermal diffusion zinc coating from a dry, chromate free coating process. This process coats both the outer and inner surfaces of the pin. Pins are open on the bottom so that water, ice and debris does not accumulate in the pin.

Auto-Lock Pin

Available option for EH-3050 and EH-HD models.

Locks automatically upon closing; then unlocks with a 1/8-turn of the handle when opening. Auto-lock pins and non-lock pins are interchangeable between the EH-3050 and EH-HD (effective with all 2014 and later EH-3050 models).

Simple and Efficient Lock Design

The keyway is cast into the pin and the key is cast into the frame.
