Ensure your critical emergency transport equipment remains fully operational and secure with this authentic OEM-spec Ferno (SKU-3452000) slotted spring pin replacement. This standardized structural hardware fastener is designed explicitly for Ferno series ambulance cots and mobile evacuation stair chairs, serving as a critical safety anchor across your entire emergency response fleet.
Commonly referred to as a roll pin or split pin, this slotted spring pin serves as a high-shear mechanical pivot and structural retention anchor. On specialized patient transport platforms, it is engineered to work in direct tandem with telescoping handle mechanisms, functioning as the vital internal safety stop that prevents outer frames or handle tubes from sliding completely out of their tracks when the adjustment assembly is loosened. It utilizes an oversized, hollow, "C"-shaped profile that compresses tightly during installation into a pre-drilled hole, generating continuous outward radial force for a permanent, vibration-resistant friction fit.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
-
Authentic Ferno OEM Component: Factory-spec hardware component tracked in official Ferno technical documentation under part number 3452000.
-
Telescoping Handle Alignment: Works directly alongside the Ferno 2487195 / EMSAR 1901448 Anodized Red Release Knob Assembly to securely limit, align, and lock telescoping stair chair handle extensions.
-
Self-Retaining Compression Fit: Built with a longitudinal slit running the entire length, allowing the pin to compress tightly into holes with varying tolerances, locking itself permanently in place without the need for washers or nuts.
-
Vibration & Shock Resistance: Continuous outward spring tension prevents the pin from backing out or loosening during bumpy ambulance transport or high-impact curb transitions.
-
Chamfered Ends: Designed with slightly tapered, angled edges on both ends to facilitate smooth insertion and ease alignment during manual field maintenance overhauls using a standard pin punch.
