For the JCB Loadall telehandlers: telescopic lock pin clip 122/34401, an aftermarket part. According to the product card, this part is a telescopic lock pin clip.

Locking pins may be small, but they play an important part in the safe use of the machine. A fork lock pin holds the tines at the required spacing on the carriage; if the pin wears or is lost, the tines can slide sideways under load and unbalance it. A boom lock pin protects anyone working under the boom during maintenance. Pins are secured with a spring or clip, which must also be sound. The pin is chosen by part number for the mechanism it locks, as a thinner or shorter pin sits loosely in its hole and does not give the expected security.
