255 – Cotton Bale Spike Collar

The 255 Cotton Bale Spike Collar is a super heavy-duty mounting sleeve and engineered for use with 2-inch diameter cross-bolt cotton bale spears. Designed for demanding agricultural and industrial cotton handling applications, this collar provides a secure, stable mounting point that supports consistent performance during repeated heavy lifting cycles.

With its precise internal dimensions and solid steel construction, the 255 collar is built to deliver long-term durability and dependable retention in cotton yards, gins, staging areas, and field operations where reliability is critical.

Heavy-Duty Construction and Dimensional Stability

The 255 cotton bale spike collar is manufactured from solid steel and features a 2-inch inside diameter, ensuring a tight, secure fit for compatible cross-bolt cotton bale spears. The sleeve measures 2.50 inches outside diameter and 10 inches in length, with an approximate weight of 8 pounds, providing the mass and rigidity required to withstand high-load cotton handling conditions.

Its robust construction resists deformation, wear, and fatigue under repeated use, making it well suited for equipment that operates continuously in abrasive and high-stress environments. The added wall thickness contributes to improved load stability and helps maintain proper spear alignment during lifting and transport.

Installation Method and Application Use

The 255 cotton bale spike collar is designed for weld-in installation, creating a permanent mounting point within the implement or attachment frame. For proper installation, the collar is welded directly into the frame or steel tube to ensure correct alignment and long-term structural integrity.

Once welding is complete and the collar has cooled, the cotton bale spear is inserted into the sleeve. The cross holes are aligned, and the bolt is installed through both the collar and spear, then secured with a washer and nut to complete the connection. This cross-bolt mounting method provides reliable retention and minimizes movement during operation, improving safety and performance when handling large cotton bales.

Engineered specifically for demanding cotton applications, the 255 collar is ideal for use with cotton bale frames, cotton movers, and specialty cotton handling equipment where secure, repeatable lifting is required.

Proudly, the 255 cotton bale spike collar is backed by a limited one-year warranty against manufacturing defects, providing confidence in durability, workmanship, and long-term reliability.
