Fully Automatic Quick Coupler
Coupler that connects both the attachment and its hydraulic lines without the operator leaving the cab or handling hoses. Justified where a machine changes hydraulic tools several times a shift.
Features
- Hydraulic couplings made automatically as the attachment engages, with no hoses to connect by hand.
- Two or four hydraulic circuits through the coupler, covering breakers, grabs, compactors and tilt functions.
- Secondary mechanical lock and full cab indication of engagement state.
- Removes the main reason crews leave an attachment on when they should change it.
- Highest mass and added length of the coupler types, and the largest hydraulic installation on the carrier.
