Pin Kit for Horseshoe Weight
Pin Kit for Horseshoe Weight (Item #D14174)
Key Benefits
The Pin Kit for Horseshoe Weight is an essential accessory for professional floor maintenance teams who use low-speed floor machines. This comprehensive kit provides all the pins and fasteners necessary to securely attach 21 lbs horseshoe weights to compatible Saturn machines. Proper installation of these pins ensures the weight remains stable during operation, preventing accidental dislodging, machine imbalance, or uneven floor pad contact.
Made from high-quality, durable steel, the pins are designed to withstand repeated use and the vibrations associated with floor maintenance equipment. By providing a secure attachment method, this pin kit enhances operator safety, minimizes downtime, and ensures consistent cleaning, polishing, and stripping performance.
Why It Matters
In floor maintenance, even minor equipment instability can reduce performance, damage machines, or compromise safety. Horseshoe weights are critical for maintaining proper pad-to-floor contact on low-speed machines, and improperly secured weights can result in uneven scrubbing, streaking, or inefficient cleaning.
Professional operators benefit from using the pin kit because it reduces risk and enhances efficiency. Correctly mounted weights prevent vibrations and shifting during operation, protecting both the operator and the floor surface while maintaining a professional finish.
