What is a Fully Automatic Quickcoupler?

The ‘quick hitch’ coupler, as it is often called, has been around for a number of years and has proved to be a time saver in making the excavator a more versatile piece of equipment and when used safely will reduce the risk of injuries associated with manual handling and crushing during attachment changes.

It can turn your hydraulic excavator into an all-round specialist allowing safe, easy and frequent changes of demolition tools at the touch of a button and in a matter of seconds from the comfort of the cab.

The fully automatic attachment change gives the user a variety of benefits:

• Each attachment is ready for safe use in a matter of seconds
• Increased efficiency by saving time and manpower
• More efficient working – tool changes are viable even for short working cycles
• Cutting costs by treating machinery, attachments and hydraulic hoses with care
• More safety and comfort for the operator
• Less contamination of the hydraulic system, environmentally friendly
• Unrestricted oil flow – less back pressure, less fuel consumption and lower oil temperature
• Very easy to clean and maintain

A Hydraulic Quickcoupler is ideal for the wide range of attachments on the market, such as crushing and screening buckets, grabs, shears and pulverisers.
