Titan part 779-138 is a caster lock pin used to secure the locking mechanism on compatible PowrLiner airless striper front or rear casters. This pin engages the caster brake to prevent unwanted machine movement during line striping operations. A worn, bent, or missing lock pin can cause the caster to unlock unexpectedly, leading to machine drift, uneven stripes, or safety hazards. Replacing with an OEM pin restores positive caster locking and stability.

The Titan 779-138 Caster Lock Pin is a genuine OEM replacement pin that engages the caster brake mechanism on compatible PowrLiner airless striping machines. When the caster lock pedal is pressed, this pin slides into a detent or through a hole in the caster swivel to prevent rotation, keeping the machine steady during striping operations.
Over time, lock pins can become bent from impact, wear at the engagement point, or become lost if retaining clips fail. A damaged or missing lock pin allows the caster to swivel unexpectedly, causing the machine to drift offline, produce wavy stripes, or roll away on slopes. Replacing the pin restores positive locking and operator confidence.
