Drag Chain Pin Removal.Hydraulic. No Torch. No Permits.

Yes — the Kingpin Breaker is specifically well-suited for drag conveyor chain. It handles engineered class chain, en masse conveyor chain, flight conveyor chain, and most heavy-duty drag chain configurations. As long as the pin diameter is 1.125" or below and pin length is between 2.25" and 7.8", it handles it. Call 262-781-3870 to confirm your specific chain before ordering.

Drag conveyor chain runs in tight, confined spaces — often in grain pits, under floors, or inside enclosed housings. Traditional torch and hammer methods require a fire watch, a hot-work permit, and a second person, which is nearly impossible to coordinate in those environments. The Kingpin Breaker is self-contained, requires no torch, no permits, and can be operated by a single technician even in tight spaces.

Torch and hammer methods require hot-work permits, a fire watch, and a second person — and often damage the chain or surrounding components. The Kingpin Breaker requires none of that. It drives out even severely seized pins in under 2 minutes with zero heat, zero permits, and zero chain damage.

Yes — many maintenance crews use the Kingpin Breaker for scheduled drag chain replacements and preventive maintenance runs. It's fast enough to service an entire drag chain run in a single shift, which makes it practical for planned outages, not just breakdowns.

No. The Kingpin Breaker is completely self-contained with a built-in 15-ton hand pump — no external hydraulic power unit required. It requires no special training to operate and can be used by a single person.

The Kingpin Breaker ships with the hydraulic frame, the 15-ton hand pump, 2 pin cavities, 4 pushpins, and 5 spacers — everything needed to start breaking pins immediately.
